If an HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 needs to be expanded into an adjacent rack, one 6 meter
SAS expansion cable kit is required for every node pair that must access drive
enclosures in the expansion rack. Each 6 meter SAS expansion cable kit contains four 6
meter SAS cables.
HP 2 Meter Expansion Cable Kit

If an HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 needs to be expanded within the same rack, but the new
drive enclosure must be located some distance from the nearest existing drive
enclosure within the same rack, one or two 2 meter SAS expansion cable kits is needed,
depending on configuration. Each 2 meter SAS expansion cable kit contains two 2 meter
SAS cables.
HP 1 Meter SAS Expansion Cable Kit
QR514A
The 1 meter SAS expansion cable kit is provided for cases where a shorter SAS cable is
required. Each 1 meter SAS expansion cable kit contains two 1 meter SAS cables.
NOTE:
The 2-node Storage Bases and Upgrade Node Pair come with four 2 meter SAS
cables each and the 4-node Storage Base comes with eight 2 meter SAS cables. The

Step 8 - Choose Software
HP provides an extensive selection of features for HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage. All of the features available on the HP 3PAR StoreServ
10000 Storage system are also available on the HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 Storage system, the result of a common architecture that
spans from small and medium businesses to the largest global enterprise. For convenient ordering, the 3PAR StoreServ 7000 provides
the features in Suites.
Two types of software licensing methods are employed with the HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000. Some software titles are licensed per
system; other titles are licensed by drive. With system-based licensing one license covers the whole array, independent of
configuration or capacity. Drive-based licensing, in contrast, is licensed per installed drive. A software title with drive-based licensing
includes two Licenses to Use (LTU), a Base LTU that enables the software feature for the system and a Drive LTU that licenses the use
of one drive. For each software title, purchase one Base LTU per title per array, and one Drive LTU, up to a cap, for every drive, that is
installed in the array, independent of drive type. For the HP 3PAR StoreServ 7200 the Drive LTUs cap at 48. For the HP 3PAR StoreServ
7400 the Drive LTUs cap at 168. After reaching the cap, you do not need to purchase any more Drive LTUs for that title.
