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 

Enterprise Power Advisor website 

(

http://www.hpe.com/info/hpepoweradvisor

). 

 

Example configurations 

Configuration examples can be calculated using the HPE Power 

Advisor Tool (

http://www.hpe.com/info/poweradvisor/online

). 

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 

following configurations:
