7.2 Third Party Rack Mounting Considerations
Some installations may want to use third-party cabinets to house the InServ Storage Server
components supplied by 3PAR. You can choose to use a Two Post Cabinet or a Four Post
Cabinet providing that they meet the mounting requirements described in this chapter. The
cabinets must also be equipped with the appropriate power units (PDUs or power receptacles)
and have access to an adequate power source that provides the recommended level of
redundancy.
For sites choosing to mount 3PAR InServ Storage Server components in third-party racks, the
following equipment is supplied:
■ Node Chassis
■ Drive Chassis
■ Service Processor
■ 3PAR provides each of the following power cord connectors for the node and drive chassis
to accommodate a particular rack configuration:
◆ 2 x 6FT, IEC-320-C14 TO IEC-320C13, ROHS
◆ 2 x 6FT, NEMA 5-15 P TO IEC-320-C13, ROHS

Figure 7-1 on page 7.3 and Figure 7-2 on page 7.4 show the required dimensions for the InServ
E200/F200 and F400 Node Chassis and drive cage.
