• Restrain and support cables in a manner that eliminates stress on connectors and eliminates tight
bends of the cables.
• Secure fiber and AOC cables with loose fitting Velcro straps, instead of wire or cable ties.
• For cable ties, ensure that the cables are
not
compressed when cinching the tie, and cut the cable ties
flush with the cable tie head to prevent scratches or cuts during future service interactions.
• When the cables are restrained together, verify that storage system components and LED indicators
are easily visible and accessible for operation and maintenance.
Guidelines for disconnecting cables
To prevent damage to the internal wires of the cable or the port pins, operate the release latch on the
cable connector, and then grip the body of the cable connector to disconnect the cable instead of pulling
on the cable.
Removing the cable restraint shipping brackets
During transport, the cable restraint shipping brackets support the connected data cables and connectors
for the HPE 3PAR StoreServ 8000 Storage system. When the storage system is in a stationary position,
the brackets are not required and may need to be removed to provide access to the components of the
storage system. If you remove the brackets, store the brackets for later use.
Procedure
1.
Remove the data cables from the hook and loop straps.
2.
Loosen the captive screws.

Spare part number
Parts have a nine-character spare part number on their labels. For some spare parts and software
versions, the part number is available from the software interface. Alternatively, Hewlett Packard
Enterprise support can assist in identifying the correct spare part number.
