Verifying The Hpe Storeonce Hardware Configuration; Other Sources Of Information For Hpe Storeonce Systems - HPE StoreOnce 3100 Installation And Configuration Manual

Verifying the HPE StoreOnce hardware configuration

The HPE StoreOnce System is supplied preconfigured according to the options specified at the time of
order. Any additional storage and/or Optional Hardware PCIe cards are already installed. They should
also be licensed and available for use.
Before you start the basic configuration tasks described in this guide verify the hardware installation as
follows:
Procedure
1. Verify what network connections are required for your backup environment. This determines which
network ports will be cabled in addition to the initial 1 GbE connection to LAN Port 1 described in the
Start Here poster. See also Network reference information on page 79.
2. Verify that any Optional Hardware required for connection to the backup environment is installed and
licensed. See Hardware overview reference section on page 68 for drawings that identify port and
slot locations for connecting to Ethernet networks and Fibre Channel SANs. See also Optional PCIe
cards on page 76.
3. Verify what storage is available and that all storage is ready for use. The drawings in Hardware
overview reference section on page 68 illustrate storage options for each model and any cabling
requirements. See also Expanding storage capacity, if supported on page 50. For HPE
StoreOnce 5500 Systems refer to SAS cabling for HPE StoreOnce 5500 Systems on page 12.
