1 System Components and Specifications

This chapter provides detailed system specifications for the HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 Storage
system and serves as a quick reference for other relevant specifications that are described in more
detail in other chapters of this manual.
HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 Storage System Components

HP 3PAR storage systems utilize a cluster-based design that incorporates sophisticated data
management and fault tolerance technologies that can meet the storage needs of smaller sites and
can easily be scaled for global organizations.
The HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 is compatible with most industry-standard 4-post EIA 19-inch racks
with square mounting holes, including the HP Intelligent Series Rack and the HP 10000 G3 Series
Rack. The HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 can be factory configured and shipped in a rack, or shipped
without a rack for field integration into an existing rack. The rack used for factory integration is
the HP Intelligent Series Rack.
The storage system is comprised of the following components:
Controller nodes are components in the storage system that work to cache and manage data
and provide hosts with a coherent, virtualized view of the system. Controller nodes are located
in the rear of the node enclosure.
The HP 3PAR StoreServ 7200 Storage system includes two nodes (Node 0 and Node
1).
The HP 3PAR StoreServ 7400 Storage system can include two nodes or four nodes (Nodes
0 and 1 on the lower controller and Nodes 2 and 3 on the upper controller in a system
with four nodes).
The HP 3PAR StoreServ 7200 and 7400 (two-node) Storage enclosures hold up to 24,
2.5 inch small form-factor (SFF) Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) disk drives arranged vertically
in a single row. The back of the enclosure includes two 764 W power cooling modules
(PCM) and two controller nodes.
The HP 3PAR StoreServ 7400 (four-node) Storage enclosure holds up to 48, 2.5 inch SFF
SAS disk drives arranged in two vertical rows. The back of the enclosure includes four
764 W PCMs and four controller nodes.
NOTE: Controller nodes of the 7200 and 7400 are unique to the system type and are not
interchangeable.
Drive enclosures hold an array of disk drives. These are intelligent, compact, extremely dense
storage units, where each is capable of holding a large numbers of disk drives in a small rack
space (EIA-standard rack units).
The HP M6710 Drive Enclosure (2U24) holds up to 24, 2.5 inch small form-factor (SFF)
SAS disk drives, installed vertically in a single row at the front of the enclosure. The back
of the enclosure contains two 580 W PCMs and two I/O modules.
The HP M6720 Drive Enclosure (4U24) holds up to 24, 3.5 inch large form-factor (LFF)
SAS disk drives, installed horizontally with four columns of six disk drives. The back of
the enclosure contains two 580 W PCMs and two I/O modules.
I/O Modules connect the controller nodes to the drives using SAS cables, enabling the transfer
of data between the nodes, the drives, PCMs, and enclosures. The I/O modules are located
at the rear of the drive enclosure and are numbered 0 to 1 from bottom to top. There are two
I/O modules per enclosure.
System Components and Specifications
The HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 Storage system can include an HP 3PAR Service Processor (SP)
or can use a Virtual Service Processor (VSP). If your configuration includes an SP, it will be
located at the bottom of the rack under the enclosures and above the power distribution units
(PDU).
Power Cooling Module is an integrated power supply, battery, and cooling fan. There are
two types of PCMs:
The 580 W is used in the drive enclosures and does not include a battery.
The 764 W (includes a replaceable battery) is used in the node enclosures. The PCMs
are located at the rear of the system, on either side of an enclosure.
There are two PCMs per enclosure that are numbered from 0 to 1, from bottom to top and
left to right.
NOTE: In the HP M6720 Drive Enclosure, there are two PCMs that are diagonally from one
another and the remaining PCM slots are filled with blank panels.
The Power Distribution Units (PDU) are housed in the HP G3 rack. There are two Power
Distribution Units (PDUs) that are mounted horizontally at the bottom of the rack and are
numbered 0 to 1 from bottom to top.
NOTE:
Depending on the configuration, PDUs can also be mounted vertically.
The various drive enclosure and controller nodes of the HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 Storage system
are shown.

StoreServ Storage Security Feature

HP 3PAR Data Encryption security feature allows you to encrypt all specifically formatted hard
drives on the storage system with an authentication key and the use of Self Encrypting Drives (SEDs).
Enhancing Security with Data Encryption

When a Data Encryption license is registered, you must manually enable the encryption feature
on the system. When the encryption feature is enabled successfully, all the drives in the system
become automatically set in an encrypted state. You can review the encryption status of individual
hard disk drives within the system Summary tab of the HP 3PAR Management Console.
This feature allows you to perform the following encryption-related tasks:
Check encryption status
Enable encryption
Back up an authentication key
Restore an authentication key
Generate a new key
Recover a key
For more information about enabling the feature, see the HP 3PAR Management Console Users
Guide .
Storage System Specifications

Capacity Specifications
The following table lists system capacity and configuration details.
NOTE: SSDs have a limited number of writes that can occur before reaching the SSD's write
endurance limit. This limit is generally high enough so wear out will not occur during the expected
service life of an HP 3PAR StoreServ under the great majority of configurations, IO patterns, and
workloads. HP 3PAR StoreServ tracks all writes to SSDs and can report the percent of the total
write endurance limit that has been used. This allows any SSD approaching the write endurance
limit to be proactively replaced before they are automatically spared out. An SSD has reached the
maximum usage limit once it exceeds its write endurance limit. Following the product warranty
period, SSDs that have exceeded the maximum usage limit will not be repaired or replaced under
HP support contracts.

When the equipment arrives, you must make sure that there is enough room to unload and unpack
the storage system.
The specific amount of space you will need to unpack the storage system is based on the dimensions
of the container, the ramp, and the room required to access the storage system so that it can be
moved to its placement destination.
NOTE: See Structural/Environmental Considerations (page 19) for more information on placing
the storage systems and reserving room for service access.
Acclimatization
Storage systems are shipped or stored at extreme temperatures and may require time to adjust to
operating temperatures before startup. The maximum acceptable rate of temperature change for
a non-operating system is 36 F/hour (20 C/hour). The storage system requires time to acclimatize
to new environmental conditions before being powered on. During that time, it is possible to
proceed with the physical installation of the storage system. However, the storage system may
need at least 24 hours to acclimatize to a new environment prior to completing the full system
installation. If condensation is present even after the 24hour acclimatization period, it is necessary
to wait until all condensation has evaporated before completing the power-on sequence.

General Site Planning
3 Structural/Environmental Considerations
Consider the following when choosing or designing your facilities for the storage system:
Equipment location and layout that allows efficient use, easy maintenance, and future
expansion.
Facility construction that provides a suitable operating environment, sufficient power, and
adequate protection from fire, contamination, or other hazards.
Suitable temperatures and appropriate air quality that is free from environmental contaminants.
The customer is responsible for maintaining the room environment according to the recommended
specifications. Environmental conditions for the room and under the floor must be maintained within
the acceptable limits to prevent any adverse impact on performance and reliability. The installation
environment should be monitored on a regular basis to ensure continued conformance to
recommended environmental specifications. The customer may request assistance from an HP 3PAR
representative for help with analyzing the site location and environment to make appropriate
recommendations.
For information on rack requirements and considerations, see the Best practices for HP Intelligent
Series Rack Family white paper.

Anchoring Dimensions
Some installations may require the storage systems to be anchored to the floor for better stability,
especially in active seismic locations. The HP Tie Down Option Kit enables you to anchor an
Intelligent Series Rack to the floor in geographical areas that are prone to seismic activity, thereby
meeting international building code guidelines. This product provides a solution to help avoid
damage or serious injury in the event of building or floor movement.

For information on rack requirements and considerations, see the Best practices for HP Intelligent
Series Rack Family white paper.
Meeting Environmental Conditions

HP recommends that you maintain a controlled environment with a high degree of cleanliness,
close control of temperature and humidity, and infrequent access by personnel.
CAUTION: The storage system operating environment must be free from continuous vibration
and from dust and other environmental contaminants.
Maintaining the Optimal Temperature

The level of cooling required for the storage systems is quite different from the air-conditioning
used in offices. Air conditioning systems for comfort are designed for the lower heat and higher
moisture generated by the human body. In contrast, equipment has high heat output that is
moisture-free (sensible heat). In comfort systems, sensible heat normally produces 6070% of the
load, whereas the dry heat of electronic equipment produces a sensible heat ratio of over 95%.
Prior to installation, verify the operating site is equipped with a cooling system that can support
all thermal emissions.
Proper site layout is critical to ensure the ambient temperature near the intake of the system does
not rise beyond the system specifications. Exceeding the maximum ambient temperature for any
period negatively affects the reliability and performance of the system. Continued operation for
extended periods under such conditions might actually cause the system to shut down.
CAUTION:
system.
Heated air from nearby equipment should not exhaust into the front of the storage
Use the following average and maximum thermal emissions of storage system components to
estimate the cooling requirements for a storage system based on a specific system configuration.

9,946 BTU/hr (2,506.4 Kcal/hr)
Drive enclosure (pair)

1
Controller nodes can only be installed in pairs.
Storage systems require a minimum of two drive enclosure. However, additional drive enclosure can be installed
individually.
Storage systems can tolerate temperature and humidity fluctuations if the specified guidelines are
understood and followed. Exposure to conditions outside the specified ranges may damage the
system or its components.
Before a system is powered on, the air entering the subsystem must be clean and within the ranges
specified for temperature and humidity. The room humidity must be kept sufficiently low to prevent
condensation on or within the subsystem, and must never exceed the limit specified in the subsystem
environmental requirements tables, including transient humidity. The system must never be exposed
to conditions that could cause internal condensation to occur within the subsystem.
The air conditioning units should have controls monitoring thermal conditions underneath the floor.
Humidification is normally required to replace moisture removed during the cooling process. The
20
Structural/Environmental Considerations
relative humidity for a subsystem equipment room should be set at 40%. This level is sufficient to
suppress electromagnetic charge buildup, and low enough to avoid the risk of corrosion and
condensation. To avoid air contamination from the humidifier, water treatment may be necessary
in areas with high mineral content.
Air Supply and Flow

The air flow capacity of the facility where the storage systems are installed needs to be sufficient
to remove the heat generated by the equipment. In addition, the air handlers must provide the
airflow volume required by the units being cooled. To ensure this airflow, the facility must have a
positive air pressure underneath the floor (if the facility has raised floors). When conditions within
the computer room are changed (new units are added, the computer system is moved, and so on),
airflow checks should be made.
The amount of outside (composition) air should be kept to the minimum needed to create a slight
positive pressure within the room, and it should not exceed industry recommendations of 0.3 cubic
meters/minute (10 cubic feet/minute) per person stationed in the equipment room. While
recommendations for outside air in comfort air conditioning are 1015% of the airflow, the computer
room environment is cleaner and operates more efficiently if outside air is kept below 1 percent
of the airflow. Cooling/heating and humidification needs are reduced, and a minimum of
contaminated building air is introduced into the installation area.
Air Cleanliness
Air contaminants can cause equipment malfunction and can damage storage systems. It is essential
that steps be taken to prevent air contaminants, such as metal particles, solvent vapors, corrosive
gases, soot, airborne fibers, or salt, from entering or being generated within the server room
environment.
A high-efficiency air filter should be employed on each air inlet for outside air to stop dust at the
point of entry to the installation site. Special additional filtering is necessary where the environment
is exposed to salt air, corrosive gases, or unusual dust/dirt conditions. Electronic equipment is
sensitive to air contaminants such as the following:
Excessive amounts of soot particles
Condensate particulates such as carbonates
Concrete particulates from unsealed concrete
Metal flakes or filings, such as those produced by sawing, filing, or drilling
Floor-cleaning solutions with high ammonia content.
Deteriorating/decomposing building materials, including floor tiles, fabrics, sheetrock,

insulation, and acoustical tiles
Pollutants generated by any servicing performed in and around the computer room
Paper chaff, dust, and toners from printers within the computer room
Processing chemicals from reproduction equipment such as microfiche processors.
In electronic equipment, contaminants cause connector contact and motor-bearing degradation.

They also cause electrical leakage, shorting paths between integrated circuit leads and between
printed wiring traces on printed circuit boards.
Air supplied to and circulated within the server room and plenums underneath the floor should
ideally pass through mechanical or electrostatic filters. HVAC ducts and plenums and sub-floor
areas, including cable raceway openings (where used), should be kept clean. All unused cables,
hardware, and debris should be removed from the area underneath the floor to avoid becoming
dust/dirt traps or potential sources of rust.
During major changes in the server room environment, special considerations must be taken into
account whenever any drilling, sawing, welding, brazing, and so on, is performed.
Meeting Environmental Conditions
21
Precautions must be taken to prevent material particles (concrete or metal particles for example.)
from becoming airborne. Storage systems should be powered down during construction that
requires any drilling, sawing, welding, brazing, and so on. In addition, all debris must be removed
before powering up the systems. Maximum concentrations of corrosive gases and solvent vapors
must also be considered.
22
Structural/Environmental Considerations
4 Power Requirements
The following describes all power domains within a HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 Storage systems.
Electrical Requirements and Limitations

Before physically installing a storage system, verify that the operating site has the necessary electrical
circuitry. Each storage system requires four (200 - 240) Volt, 30 Amp outlets, or two outlets if only
the bottom half of the rack is occupied. For proper redundant power protection, power should be
supplied from two or more power sources. Use the approximate current requirements for storage
system components listed in Power and Heat Specifications (page 12) to estimate the current,
power, and heat requirements for a specific system configuration.
Power Quality
The quality of the input power is critical to the performance and reliability of the system. Variations
in the input power can cause a power failure or malfunction. Many of the causes of transient signals
and noise on commercial power lines are difficult to locate or are beyond the customers control.
To reduce the impact of the irregularities, some form of power conditioning may be needed. Consult
your electrician for assistance.
Voltage and Frequency Tolerance

Steady state voltage must be maintained within 10% of the normal rated voltage, measured (under
load) at the power input terminal of the specified server. The frequency must be maintained at
(50-60 HZ), 1 phase 50/60 +2%, -4%.
When there is a possibility of brownouts or other marginal voltage conditions, installing a voltage
monitor is advisable.
Systems are tested to comply with the IEC/EN 6100045 standard.
HP recommends installing a lightning protection device on the server room power source when
the following conditions exist:
The primary power is supplied by an overhead power service.
The utility company installs lightning protectors on the primary power source.
The area is subject to electrical storms or equivalent types of power surges.
Electrostatic Discharge
Storage systems are susceptible to failure due to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). Electrostatic charges
can accumulate on people and furniture because of direct contact with floor coverings or movement
while in contact with furniture coverings. Discharge of static electricity to a metal surface on server
racks can interfere with the system operation and cause discomfort to anyone who comes in contact
with it.
Some factors contributing to electrostatic discharge are the following:
High-resistance floor covering
Carpeting without antistatic properties
Low humidity (less than 20%)
The system is tested to comply with the IEC/EN 6100042 standard.
Branch Circuits
The individual panel branch circuits should be protected by suitable circuit breakers properly rated
according to manufacturer specifications and applicable codes. Each circuit breaker should be
Electrical Requirements and Limitations
23
labeled to identify the branch circuit it is controlling. The receptacle should also be labeled. Plan
on a circuit breaker maximum of 30 A per PDU (de-rated to 24 A).
Emergency Power Control

As a safety precaution, you might consider providing emergency power-off controls for disconnecting
the main service wiring that supplies storage systems. Install these controls at a convenient place
for the operators and next to the main exit doors of the room after checking local electrical codes
for further guidelines.
Power Distribution Units

In HP-integrated storage systems, four PDUs are mounted horizontally below the enclosures at the
bottom rear of the rack. Numbers for PDUs are assigned beginning with 0, from bottom to top.
NOTE: If a storage system rack does not have components installed in the top portion of the rack,
do not connect and use the two upper PDUs (PDU 2 and PDU 3) to power the system. Redundant
power is still supplied to the lower bays in the rack through PDU 0 and PDU 1.
Storage system PDUs are equipped with NEMA L630 or IEC 60309 connectors, depending on
the region. International PDUs are equipped with IEC 60309, 2P+E (3 wire, 2 Pole + Earth Ground)
connectors. The appropriate receptacles or adapters are necessary at the operating site to
accommodate these connectors.
Each PDU is equipped with two power banks and separate circuit breakers, used exclusively for
storage system components.
WARNING! To avoid possible injury, damage to storage system equipment, and potential loss
of data, do not use the surplus power outlets in the storage system PDUs. Never use outlets in the
PDUs to power components that do not belong to the storage system or to power storage system
components that reside in other racks.
Power Cord Connections

Storage systems arrive with all internal power cords configured. Each PDU AC cord connects to
the wall outlet and supplies power to the node and drive enclosure power supplies. The power
can be routed from the top or bottom of the rack.
Redundant Power
The storage system supports redundant power through the use of PDUs and PCMs.
WARNING! To avoid possible injury, damage to storage system equipment, and potential loss
of data, do not use the surplus power outlets in the storage system PDUs. Never use outlets in the
PDUs to power components that do not belong to the storage system or to power storage system
components that reside in other racks.
To support redundant power:
The PCMs in each enclosure must connect to separate PDUs.
Each PDU in the system must connect to an independent AC circuit.
Power Cooling Modules

The storage system includes an enclosure that has two PCMs, an integrated power supply, and a
cooling fan and battery, that are located at the rear of the system on either side of an enclosure.
The PCM converts current from an AC line to appropriate DC levels and supplies power to the
controller node.
24
Power Requirements
There are two types of PCMs:
580 W PCM - Used in HP M6720 and HP M6710 drive enclosures
764 W PCM (includes a replaceable battery pack) - Used in controller node enclosures
The following table provides the technical specifications of the replaceable battery located inside
the 764 W PCM.

5 Network, Cabling, and Connectivity

This chapter provides information about how to determine the best network configuration, including
the necessary connections and cable routing options, when installing the storage system at a
determined site.
NOTE: The following information assumes that your are working with an established network,
and explains how to connect a storage system to a network.

Controller Node Connections

The controller nodes provide the ports that are required to connect to external drives, systems, and
other devices. A controller node contains one PCIe slot that accepts the dual-port or quad-port
Fibre Channel adapter, dual-port or quad-port NIC, or the dual port 10 Gb/s iSCSI adapter. The
number of ports available for the host connection will vary based on the configuration.
NOTE:
Ethernet Port (MGMT) is also used for the management interface connection.
Fibre Channel SFP adapters are used to connect to the customer FC switch and/or hosts and can
also be used for Remote Copy operations. Depending on whether your system includes two or four
nodes and the type of PCI adapter installed (FC or CNA), a system can support a maximum of
424 SFPs.
Controller Node Connections
27
Required Cables
The quantities and lengths of the cables required for storage system installation vary according to
the specific storage system and network configuration. Fibre Channel cables are used externally
to connect the controller node to the customer switch or host (in the case of a directly connected
host). The SAS cables are used to connect the controller node to the drive enclosures.

Varies according to system and network

configuration
To provide redundancy and to permit online software upgrades, both controller nodes in a node pair (for example,
nodes 0 and 1 and nodes 2 and 3) must maintain connections to each host server.
Each controller node supports one Ethernet connection to a switch or hub. Separate connections
from the Ethernet switch or hub to at least two controller nodes are required to support
redundancy. With redundancy, one IP address is shared between the two connections and
only one network connection is active at a time. If the active network connection fails, the IP
address is automatically moved to the surviving network connection.
At a minimum, the storage system requires one Fibre Channel (or iSCSI) connection from a
host computer to a controller node. However, HP recommends separate connections from
each host computer to each of the controller nodes in the storage system, with connections
distributed evenly across all nodes.
The following shows the maximum supported Fibre Channel cable length based on the cable size
and port speed:

Cable Routing Options

For 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE), iSCSI, and Fibre Channel cables that connect the storage system
to the customer network or hosts, approximately 7 feet (2 meters) of each cable must be reserved
for internal routing within the storage system rack.
Network Access
External Ethernet, iSCSI, FCoE, or Fibre Channel cable connections are completed at the time of
installation. These external connections are necessary to do the following:
Establish connections from the controller nodes to the host computer or computers
Connect the storage system to the network, enabling storage system management through the
HP 3PAR Management Console and HP 3PAR Command Line Interface (CLI)
Allow communication to the storage system from the SP
Supported Network Topologies

Several different network topologies can connect the storage system to the local area network,
depending on operating site policies and requirements. Currently, the two supported topologies
are shared and private.
Internal Cable Connections
29
Shared
With a shared network topology, the storage system and SP share the internal customer network.
A shared topology requires all of the following:
A static IP address and system name for the storage system
A minimum two Ethernet connections from a switch or hub to the storage system controller
nodes, if there are more than two nodes
A static IP address for the SP
One Ethernet connection from a switch or hub to the SP
Private
With a private network topology, both the storage system and SP reside on the same private
network segment of the customer local area network. All management workstations used to
administer the system must also reside on the same private network segment. A private topology
requires all of the following:
A static IP address for the storage system
Two Ethernet connections from the storage system to a private network segment
A minimum two Ethernet connection from the SP to the private network segment, if there are
more than two nodes
A static IP address for the SP
At least one management station on the private network segment
Service Processor Connectivity

The SP is used to provide remote error detection and reporting, and to support diagnostic and
maintenance activities involving the storage system.
HP uses the data collected by the SP to maintain, troubleshoot, and upgrade any HP 3PAR storage
equipment on the customer site. To perform these activities, the SP must communicate with HP
Central or a local service provider. The connection between the SP and HP Central or a local
service provider can be made by using the customer network and the Internet. Connections using
the customer network pass through a customers firewall. When a designated management
workstation resides on the same network as the SP and is configured to access the SP, a customer
has the option to block external communications at any time. The SP needs to be on the same

6 Third-Party/Existing Rack Mounting

Some installations may use third-party or existing racks to house the HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000
Storage components. Install system components only into a standard 19-inch rack. The rack must
also be equipped with the appropriate PDUs or power receptacles and have access to an adequate
power source that provides the recommended level of redundancy.
For site administers who choose to mount storage system components, the following kits are
available:
7200 Node Enclosure
7400 Node Enclosure
Drive Enclosure
Service Processor
NOTE: For physical dimensions and power/heat specifications for storage system components,
see Power and Heat Specifications (page 12). For general information on placement and
recommended conditions, see Structural/Environmental Considerations (page 19).
Service Installation Prerequisites

Location of Rack
Place the rack in its final location.
Make sure the operational power, with the correct connectors, exists in the proposed location
of the rack. The system will operate in 100-240VAC 50/60Hz and requires 200-240 VAC
PDUs or power strips. Each drive enclosure requires two C13/C14 connections. The SP
requires one C13/C14 connection.
36 inch (91.4 cm) of service clearance is required directly in front of the rack. This is required
due to the depth of the enclosure and potential to damage to other equipment that is in front
of the rack/enclosure.
30 inch (76.2 cm) of service clearance is required on both sides of the front of the rack. This
is required because two people must lift the enclosure and set into the rack. The allocated
space is necessary on each side for the person to stand and maneuver the enclosure.
30 inch (76.2 cm) of unobstructed clearance is required directly behind the enclosure to
service the nodes (for example, do not attach PDUs, power-strips, power cord routing, and
other things to the back of the rack). There must be unobstructed clearance directly behind
the node enclosure in order to remove or install a controller node.
Rack Requirements
The rack is operational and has enough space for the installation. HP installation and upgrade
services does not include building a new rack, re-racking, or moving existing components.
The required contiguous rack space is defined by the quantity of 7000 Storage and drive
enclosures in the system. There must be 2U of rack space for each HP 3PAR 7000 Storage
enclosure and 2U SAS drive enclosure, 4U of rack space for the 4U SAS drive enclosure, and
1U for a service processor. HP also recommends having an open rack space above and below
the installed storage system components for drive enclosure upgrades.
Only use a 4post rack for an installation. Using any other types of racks is prohibited . The
vertical RETMA rails must have square holes.
Service Installation Prerequisites
31
Customer cabling (power, FC, SAS, and Ethernet) must be routed in an organized path so it
does not restrict the removal of controller nodes or obstruct the servicing area.
The rail kits for the 7000 series node and drive enclosures have a supported depth range of
24.5 inch to 32 inches (measurement between the inside of the retma rails from front to back).
Shipment of the units installed in the third party racks is NOT supported.
Enclosure Installation
Two people are required to lift the enclosure during any servicing purposes.
Service Limitations (Also applicable to third party rack installations)

HP will not perform the following tasks:
Assemble the rack from components
Configure the rack hardware
Position the rack
Perform any extensive racking, re-racking, or cabling activities, including cabling activities
involving conduits, raceways, patch panels, and movement or configuration of computer room
floor panels.
Complete a full site inspection, such as a comprehensive analysis of power, cooling and
humidity, airborne contaminants, vibration, and sufficient structural capability of the raised
floor in the data center to accommodate the weight of the array to be installed.
Dimensional Requirements
Refer to Physical Specifications (page 10) for physical specifications of the enclosures.
If you are installing any HP equipment in a four-post rack, the rack must comply with the minimum
and maximum specifications. A clear path between the front and rear vertical (RETMA) rails must
be established. There must not be any obstructions to the area when installing the rails and
enclosures.
Rack Space Considerations

HP highly recommends installing enclosures in contiguous rack space because it ensures the copper
SAS reaches the connecting ports, and provides consistency for servicing and installation. When
additional drive enclosure are added in the future, it is recommended to place them with the initial
enclosure, but it is not required.
Your site configuration should also specify an area of contiguous space within the rack for installing
HP equipment, such as the top, bottom or middle part of the rack. HP recommends considering an
area closest to the location of the sourced host cables when you are determining an installation
area.
Build the rack from bottom to top.
Maintaining Minimum Clearances

Proper clearances should be maintained for all mounted installations to allow for proper ventilation,
cabling and access for maintenance.

Four-Post Shelf Kit

The four-post shelf kits allow the drive enclosure and components to be mounted in a variety of
four-post racks. Each enclosure or component requires its own mounting kit.
NOTE:
Do not stack the enclosure on top of another one.
Four-post shelves are mounted to the front and rear rails of a four-post rack. Each side requires
two shelf halves and the corresponding mounting hardware. The shelf halves are expandable to
fit racks of different depths. Front shelf halves have left and right pieces, while the rear shelf half
can be used on either side of the rack. When the installation is complete on both the left and right
sides, the equipment can be placed on the shelves and secured to the RETMA rails.
Redundant Power Requirements

Each storage system component is supplied with redundant PCMs. The controller nodes and drive
enclosure are designed to continue operating even when AC power is lost to one of the PCMs.
For this feature to operate properly, each power supply line cord within an enclosure must be
attached to an independent electrical source, each controlled and protected by its own circuit
breaker. Multiple outlets in a power distribution unit or power strip do not constitute an independent
electrical source.
Additionally, each line cord must be plugged into an outlet that is capable of supporting the entire
load of its enclosure.
CAUTION:
The PDUs are not provided with the installation kit. Verify the PDUs meet the minimum
power requirements before powering on the system. Special consideration must be given to this
requirement. Failure to do so may result in the overloading of the branch circuit if a power supply
fails, and shuts down the storage system, and cause similar failures in all the equipment connected
to the branch circuit.
CAUTION: AC line cords should be securely attached to the customer PDUs and outlets with
cord-retention mechanisms to prevent accidental disconnection during service activities. HP provides
cord retention mechanisms on HP power supplies but does not supply retention devices for
connection to the customer PDUs or outlets.

Record network information

It is critical to have the correct networking information available before proceeding with the system
installation and configuration. It may be necessary to pre-stage DNS information. Contact your
system administrator to clarify network configuration requirements.
IMPORTANT: Before joining the 3PAR StoreServ File Persona controller nodes to the Active
Directory domain, ensure network connectivity exists between each node and the domain controller,
and the StoreServ system time is in sync with the domain controllers. This is commonly achieved
by configuring the StoreServ controllers to synchronize their time with the NTP service running on
the Active Domain controllers.
The HP 3PAR StoreServ 7200c and a 2-node 7400c File Persona require a minimum of 3 IP
addresses, the HP 3PAR StoreServ 7400c with all 4-nodes running File Persona requires a minimum
of 5 IP addresses. These addresses may be statically assigned or assigned by a DHCP server or
both. HP recommends assigning static IP addresses. If you are using static addressing or a DHCP
server that does not automatically update DNS, ensure that both forward and reverse DNS
information (A and PTR records) are pre-staged in the DNS server. Use Table 22 (page 43) or
Table 23 (page 44) depending on the HP 3PAR StoreServ model to document your network
information before proceeding with system setup.

Federal Communications Commission Notice

Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and Regulations has established
Radio Frequency (RF) emission limits to provide an interference-free radio frequency spectrum.
Many electronic devices, including computers, generate RF energy incidental to their intended
function and are, therefore, covered by these rules. These rules place computers and related
peripheral devices into two classes, A and B, depending upon their intended installation. Class A
devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be installed in a business or commercial
environment. Class B devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be installed in a
residential environment (for example, personal computers). The FCC requires devices in both classes
to bear a label indicating the interference potential of the device as well as additional operating
instructions for the user.
Class A Equipment
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which
case the user will be required to correct the interference at personal expense.
FCC Rating Label

The FCC rating label on the device shows the classification (A or B) of the equipment. Class B
