Service Processor Placement
The Service Processor (SP) supports all actions required for the maintenance of the storage system.
The SP provides real-time, automated monitoring of the storage system. The SP also supports remote
access for HP to diagnose and resolve potential problems. The SP is adjacent to the controller node
chassis and resides in the lower section of the cabinet or third-party rack.An SP is typically placed
and installed directly below the node chassis power supply compartment and seated directly above
the DC4 drive chassis (Figure 38 (page 38), Figure 39 (page 38)) and Figure 40 (page 39). The
SP is internally powered by the storage system and does not require an external power connection.
