Figure 2 3PAR Storage Drive Enclosures and SAS Ports
Controller Node, Storage Drive Enclosure, and Cable Label Kits
All 3PAR StoreServ Storage systems contain special label kits for controller nodes, storage drive
enclosures and cables. The labels are essential for identification purposes and part of the cabling
process.
The cabling configurations are identifiable by the specific number of nodes connecting to a
combination of SFF and LFF storage drive enclosures. Each label specifies a direct connect from
a controller node to a storage drive enclosure. All system cabling configurations use both red
and green labels to assist with identifying and connecting the cables. Only connect a cable to
components sharing the same color.
IMPORTANT:
The 6m SAS cables have been replaced by 10m AOC cables in many of the
cabling configurations.
