IMPORTANT:
When connecting the power
management cable to the chassis management module
and the power shelf, be sure to install the cable with the
plastic tab on the top of the connector. Failure to install
the cable properly can result in performance and
reporting issues.
The example below represents possible configuration for cabling the
system. The power cables are shown in blue and the power
management cables are shown in green.

Connecting three chassis to one power shelf
Cable quantity and length are determined by the configuration of
components. For more information, see the Hewlett Packard

Example configurations
Configuration examples can be calculated using the HPE Power
Advisor Tool (

This tool is designed for facilities planning purposes only. Values
obtained from the tool are based on worst case loads. Whenever
possible, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends using actual
measurements in configuration planning. Measurements must be
made with the intended configuration, application loading, and
ambient environment.
Actual power usage will vary, depending on application loading,
ambient temperature, and other factors.
Connecting the chassis to the
network
To connect the chassis to the network, do one of the following:
•
Connect the chassis to the top-of-rack switch.
•
Connect the optional HPE APM module.
Connecting the chassis to the top-of-rack
switch
Connect the chassis to the top-of-rack switch using one of the
