3 General Site Planning This chapter provides general recommendations for physical planning and site preparation for the installation and operation of HP P10000 3PAR Storage Systems. General Planning Successful installation of HP 3PAR Storage Systems requires careful planning and supervision in collaboration with authorized HP representatives.
Verify that electrical service wiring has been installed at the server’s predetermined location. Refer to the respective product specifications for detailed requirements. Verify of any additional support equipment is properly installed and operational. At installation time, the HP representative will supervise the delivery and unpacking of the equipment. NOTE: No part of the installation, from unloading the crated server from the delivery vehicle to unpacking and placement, should be performed without the supervision of an HP representative.

Figure 10 Bottom View Dimensions for the HP P10000 3PAR Storage System Additional Flooring Recommendations Consider the following recommendations for raised floor installations: The flooring should be high enough to allow under the floor routing of cables and specified airflow to system air intakes. The recommended minimum floor clearance is 30.5 cm (12 in).
To avoid an electrical hazard when using a metallic floor, no metal or conductive material should be exposed to the walking surface. Sharp edges must be eliminated on all floor cutouts where cables pass. For wood or similar core material, all cut edges must be covered with metal or plastic clips or grommets so that none of the core is exposed (see NFPA 75 requirements).
Providing for Service Access HP P10000 3PAR Storage Systems are housed in 2M (40U) cabinets that measure 76.75 in. (195 cm) x 32.65 in. (82.9 cm) x 35.62 in. (90.5 cm). Cabinets feature locking rear doors and removable side panels to improve access while installing, cabling, and servicing components.
9,946 BTU/hr (2,506.4 Kcal/hr) Controller nodes can only be installed in pairs. HP P10000 3PAR Storage Systems require a minimum of two drive chassis; however, additional drive chassis can be installed individually. Storage systems can tolerate temperature and humidity fluctuations if the specified guidelines are understood and followed.
environmental requirements tables, including transients. 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 under the floor output that respond to 1° C (2° F) and 5 percent relative humidity. Humidification is normally required to replace moisture removed during the cooling process.

and debris should be removed from the under the floor area 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, etc., is performed. Precautions must be taken to prevent material particles (concrete or metal particles, etc.) from becoming airborne.
This chapter describes the general power requirements for HP P10000 3PAR Storage Systems. Powering HP P10000 3PAR Storage Systems The cabinets used to house the HP P10000 3PAR Storage System components include 4 Power Distribution Units (PDUs). Each node has 2 dedicated power supplies and each drive chasis has 4 power supplies.

6 Network, Cabling and Connectivity This chapter provides information on determining the best network configuration for the HP 3PAR Storage Systems being installed at your site including the necessary connections and cable routing options. NOTE: The information that follows assumes an established network and discusses how to connect a storage system to that network.
A shared topology requires: A static IP address and system name for the storage system. Two Ethernet connections from a switch or hub to the storage system controller nodes. A static IP address for the SP. One Ethernet connection from a switch or hub to the SP. At least one management station on the network segment.

Depending on the number of controller nodes in the system, the type of Fibre Channel adapters installed, and the method of drive chassis connection being used, a HP P10000 3PAR Storage System can support a maximum of 2-48 drive chassis. Controller nodes can hold a maximum of nine PCI adapters.
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).
to each of the controller nodes in the storage server, with connections distributed evenly across all nodes, are recommended. (Table 9 (page 13)) shows the maximum supported Fibre Channel cable length based on the cable size and port speed.
