1 Introduction
This guide is available at http://www.hpe.com/support/3PAR8000Cabling.
Audience
This guide is intended for Hewlett Packard Enterprise field engineers and authorized personnel
installing or servicing HPE 3PAR StoreServ systems.
Advisories
To avoid injury or damage to data and equipment, always observe the notes, cautions, and
warnings within this guide. Always be aware of the operating environment and handle electrical
equipment carefully.
WARNING! Warnings alert you of actions that can cause injury to people or irreversible damage
to the equipment, software, or data.
CAUTION: Cautions alerts you of actions that can cause damage to the equipment, software,
or data.
NOTE: Notes are reminders, tips, or suggestions that supplement the procedures included in
this guide.
4 Introduction

2 Getting Started
Read the following sections as they list important instructions, precautions, and information about
installation and cable connection options for the 3PAR StoreServ Storage system.
IMPORTANT: The following diagrams present a storage-centric solution with the controller
nodes mounted in the center of the rack. If the current components situated on the rack do not
reflect the layout of the diagrams, continue to follow the cable instructions by adjusting the
diagrams higher or lower depending on your configuration. However it is critical that the controller
node and drive enclosure port cable connections match the diagrams in this guide to ensure
proper operation and redundancy.
Following Precautions
Follow these general precautions to avoid injury, data loss, and damage before and during
installation or while servicing the 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 the Components, Enclosure Ports, and Labels
The content in this section applies to all configurations and provides instructional guidance for
cabling the 3PAR StoreServ 8000 according to a specific configuration.
NOTE: The following diagrams do not present a storage-centric solution with the controller
nodes mounted in the center of the rack or other non-Hewlett Packard Enterprise supported
component configurations. If the current components situated on the rack do not reflect the layout
of the diagrams, continue to follow the cable instructions and carefully validate the port cable
connections between all the controller nodes and storage drive enclosures to ensure proper
operation and redundancy.
Controller Node and Storage Drive Enclosures
Depending on the system configuration, the 3PAR StoreServ 8000 supports either two or four
controller nodes systems.
Following Precautions 5

Figure 1 3PAR StoreServ 8000 Controller Node Enclosure and SAS Ports
The 3PAR StoreServ systems support a combination of small form-factor (SFF) and large
form-factor (LFF) storage drive enclosures. The (SFF) storage drive enclosure uses 2.5-inch
storage drives and the (LFF) enclosure supports 3.5-inch storage drives.
6 Getting Started

Figure 2 3PAR Storage Drive Enclosures and SAS Ports
Controller Node, Storage Drive Enclosure, and Cable Label Kits
All 3PAR StoreServ Storage systems contain special label kits for controller nodes, storage drive
enclosures and cables. The labels are essential for identification purposes and part of the cabling
process.
The cabling configurations are identifiable by the specific number of nodes connecting to a
combination of SFF and LFF storage drive enclosures. Each label specifies a direct connect from
a controller node to a storage drive enclosure. All system cabling configurations use both red
and green labels to assist with identifying and connecting the cables. Only connect a cable to
components sharing the same color.
IMPORTANT: The 6m SAS cables have been replaced by 10m AOC cables in many of the
cabling configurations.

NOTE: Apply all the labels on to the appropriate system components and cables before
connecting the cables.

3 Cabling Configurations
This chapter points to recommended racking and cabling configurations for 3PAR StoreServ
8000 Series systems.
NOTE: These diagrams do not present a storage-centric solution with the controller nodes
mounted in the center of the rack or other non-Hewlett Packard Enterprise supported component
configurations. If the current components situated on the rack do not reflect the layout of the
diagrams, continue to follow the cable instructions and carefully validate the port cable connections
between all the controller nodes and storage drive enclosures to ensure proper operation and
redundancy.
Before you begin cabling the storage system, carefully read or print the section, “Identifying the
Components, Enclosure Ports, and Labels” (page 5).
NOTE: Apply all the labels on to the appropriate system components and cables before
connecting the cables.
