1 Cabling Preparation for HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000/7450 The following instructions list important precautions and information about cabling installation options for the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage system. Following Precautions Follow these general precautions to avoid injury, data loss, and damage before and during installation or while servicing the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage system: • Avoid using improper tools • Prepare an Electrostatic Discharge-safe (ESD) work surface by placing an antistatic mat on the floor, or table, near the storage system. Attach the ground lead of the mat to an unpainted surface of the rack • Always use a wrist-grounding strap, provided with the storage system. Attach the grounding strap clip directly to an unpainted surface of the rack • Avoid contact between electronic components and clothing which can carry an electrostatic charge • Ensure all cables are properly labeled and easily identifiable prior to removing a component • Observe local occupational safety requirements and guidelines for handling heavy equipment • Always load the heaviest item first, and start from the bottom when loading the rack. Loading from the bottom makes the rack bottom-heavy and helps prevent the rack from becoming unstable • Do not attempt to move a fully-loaded equipment rack. Remove all equipment from the rack before moving the rack • Use at least two people to safely move the rack from the pallet Identifying and Labeling the Components This section of the chapter applies to all configurations in this guide. The guide provides instructional guidance for cabling the HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000/7450 according to a specific configuration. All HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage systems contain either the HP 3PAR 7200 (2 nodes) or 7400/7450 (with 2 or 4 nodes), M6720 large drive enclosure(s), and M6710 small drive enclosure(s). The M6720 large drive enclosures supports 3.5-inch disk drives and the smaller M6710 drive enclosure supports 2.5-inch disk drives. The cabling configurations are identifiable by the specific number of nodes connecting to a combination of small or large disk drive enclosures. The cabling configuration examples below uses the following identification: • 2 Node 10 Drive Enclosure (1S) refers to a configuration using two nodes connecting to one small (2.5-inch) disk drive enclosure • 2 Node 10 Drive Enclosures (6S+4L) refers to a configuration using two nodes connecting to a combination of six small (2.5-inch) and four large (3.5-inch) drive enclosures 4 Cabling Preparation for HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000/7450
