SAS cabling for HPE StoreOnce 5500 Systems
Cabling considerations for HPE StoreOnce 5500 Systems
The HPE StoreOnce 5500 System has two RAID controller cards and, in a multi-enclosure configuration,
all disk enclosures must be connected to the correct RAID controller card at installation before further
system configuration takes place. This chapter is included specifically for the HPE StoreOnce 5500
System to ensure that users can verify SAS cabling against the drawings showing recommended cabling
configurations.
All other StoreOnce Systems described in this guide have a single RAID controller card and cabling is
straightforward. Cabling diagrams for these systems are included in Hardware overview reference
section on page 68.

Basic HPE StoreOnce 5500 System installation
In this scenario, the disk enclosure bundled with the server is installed above the server and is connected
to the RAID controller card in Slot 2. There is a 1U support shelf above the server to protect it from the
weight of the disk enclosures. This is the installation that is described in the printed HPE StoreOnce 5500
System Start Here poster, and is illustrated below.
NOTE:
Within the StoreOnce software this enclosure is identified as Storage Cluster 1 and volume and pool
names have C2 as part of their naming convention to indicate that they are connected to the RAID
controller card in slot 2, for example: Pool C2_P1 to Pool C2_P6.
