and
Figure 28 (page 39)
in Appendix A for front end connections with
server-based management. See
Figure 27 (page 38)
and
Figure 29 (page 39)
in Appendix A for
front end connections with array-based management.
Connecting cables to an HSV300-S controller enclosure (front end)

management in Appendix A.
Labeling cables using labeling kit
Label each end of each cable using the materials in the supplied labeling kit.
Connecting the power cords
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.
•
To remove power to the equipment, unplug the power cord from the power supply.
•
Route the power cord so that it is not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed against
it. Pay particular attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the cord is attached
to the EVA.
To protect your system from power failure related downtime, each EVA ships with a redundant
power supply. See
Table 2 (page 19)
to determine the best method for connecting your power
supplies to your power source to eliminate downtime due to power-related failure.
When connecting the power cables, use the power cables shipped with the EVA. After power is
supplied to the EVA, the power supply automatically senses the input voltage and the power supply
LED illuminates as solid amber.

Level of Protection
Connection Method
Protects you from downtime when one of the EVA power supplies fails.
The remaining power supply/fan module can operate the EVA until you install a
replacement module.
EVA power supplies connected to
one power source
Protects you from downtime when one of the EVA power supplies fails.
Protects you from data loss when one of your power sources fails, due to a pulled
cable or tripped breaker.
EVA power supplies connected to
two separate power sources
The remaining power source can power the EVA until the failed power source is
restored or relocated.
Depending on the cause and duration of the power outage, you can use this time
to properly shut down your storage sub-system.
Protects you from downtime when one of the EVA power supplies fails.
Protects you from data loss when one or both of your power sources fails, due to
a pulled cable, tripped breaker, or local power outage.
EVA power supplies connected to:
•
Two uninterruptible power
supplies
The remaining power source or the UPS will power the EVA until power is restored
to the source. Depending on the cause and duration of the power outage, you
can use this time to properly shut down your storage sub-system.
•
Two separate power sources
For more information about power sources, see the HP 4400 Enterprise Virtual Array User Guide.
