1 Cabling Preparation for HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000/7450 The following instructions list important precautions and information about cabling installation options for the storage system.
Types of Components Use the red and green color coding to assist with the cabling. Only connect to components sharing the same color.
Labeling the Enclosures Before connecting the cables: • Labels (A, B, C, and D) are provided to help identify the enclosures in the storage system. Apply the labels to each enclosure in a visible location and avoid covering other labels • Apply label A to the controller enclosure with nodes 0 and 1. Alternate the labeling (A/B) on each enclosure below the controller enclosure If applicable, a system using four nodes, apply label C to the controller enclosure with nodes 2 and 3.
