WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
• Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety
feature.
• Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all
times.
• Unplug the power cord from the power supply to disconnect power to the equipment.
• Do not route the power cord where it can be walked on or pinched by items placed against
it. Pay particular attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the cord extends
from the node.

Cabling the system

This section provides some cabling examples to help you properly cable your appliance. Your
configuration may differ from the examples, but the details should provide guidance for you to properly
cable the appliance in your environment.
After completing the network connections, be sure to connect the power cables to the system.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends two 10GbE or 1GbE (if 1GbE solution is used) switches
configured in a highly available configuration to ensure a network switch failure does not prevent access
to the HC380 configuration. Examples on how to configure both HPE 5900 series switches and Cisco
Nexus 5600 switches are provided in "Appendix A: Network switch configuration (on page 85)."
