Installing the support rails for the SAN Volume Controller

2145-8G4

There are several steps that you must perform to install the SAN Volume
Controller 2145-8G4 node.
Installing the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8G4 consists of the following tasks:
1. Installing the support rails in the rack cabinet.
2. Installing the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8G4.
3. Connecting the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8G4 to the UPS.
4. Installing the cable retention bracket on the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8G4.
Before you install the support rails, review the following guidelines:
v Do not install a unit in a rack where the internal rack ambient temperatures
exceeds the manufacturer's recommended ambient temperature for all your
rack-mounted devices.
v Do not install a unit in a rack where the air flow is compromised. Ensure that
air flow is not blocked or reduced on any side, front, or back of a unit used for
air flow through the unit.
v Ensure that the equipment is connected properly to the supply circuit so that the
circuits do not overload and compromise the supply wiring or overcurrrent
protection.
v Plan the device installation starting at the bottom of the rack cabinet.
v Install the heaviest device in the bottom of the rack cabinet.
v Do not install a SAN Volume Controller node directly above the pull-out
monitor and keyboard of the master console. The front panel of the node
protrudes beyond the front of the rack and overlaps part of the monitor, which
prevents you from being able to open it.
You must install the support rails that hold the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8G4.
When you are ready to install the support rails, perform the following tasks:
v Refer to the Hardware Location Chart to determine where the SAN Volume
Controller is to be installed in the rack.
v Refer to the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) markings on the rack and decide
where you are going to install the support rails.
Perform the following steps to install the support rails (shown in Figure 26 on page
50) for the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8G4:
1. Make sure you have all the items that you need for installing the support rails.
