Planning Manual

Abstract

This manual provides information that is useful for planning and preparing for the installation of HP 3PAR Storage Systems.
Use this document in conjunction with the HP 3PAR Systems Assurance and Pre-Installation Site Planning Guide that details
specific system configuration and installation information for your storage system and operating site. The information in this
manual is intended for use by HP customers, in conjunction with the advice and assistance of an HP Sales Representative or
Systems Engineer, for the purpose of planning an HP 3PAR Storage System installation. The installation of HP 3PAR Storage
Systems and hardware components is to be completed by qualified technicians who are authorized by HP. Authorized technicians
include HP Field Engineers, Value Added Resellers (VARs), and authorized third-party field technicians.
