Cable Routing Options
Storage system cabinets have both upper and lower access openings available for Fibre Channel
cable routing (Figure 24 (page 45)). It is also possible to route network cables and main power
cords through specially designated upper and lower openings in the cabinet.
Figure 24 Bringing Cables Into the Cabinets Through Access Openings
NOTE: For GbE, 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 cabinet.
Service Processor Connections
The SP provides support for on-site diagnostic and maintenance activities for HP 3PAR Storage
systems (hardware and software maintenance). It can also be used to provide remote monitoring
and support. The SP is not a part of the evaluated Common Criteria configuration. Refer to the HP
3PAR InForm OS Common Criteria Administrator’s Reference for additional information.
Connecting the Service Processor
The SP uses customer-supplied connections, as outlined in “Supported Network Topologies”
(page 37). Table 21 (page 46) provides general guidelines for completing these external
connections.
