22 EMC VPLEX with GeoSynchrony 4.1 Installation and Setup Guide
Follow the steps in the EMC 40U-C Cabinet Unpacking and Setup Guide, which
accompanies each VPLEX cabinet (and is available on Powerlink).
To confirm that no components loosened during shipping:
1. From the rear of the cabinet, push each director and the I/O module carrier
(shown in Figure 5) inward, to verify that these components are fully seated.

Directors and I/O module carrier

If any of these components is not fully seated, loosen the orange captive screws,
push the component firmly into the backplane, and retighten the thumbscrews.
2. Confirm that all I/O modules are fully seated.
3. Confirm that all thumbscrews are finger-tight.
4. Confirm that all cables in the cabinet (except AC cables to site power) are securely
connected, and that the wire bail on each SPS power cable, as well as (if present)
each UPS and Fibre Channel switch power cable, is secure.
The bail on each SPS and UPS cable must be clamped onto the plug's plastic
molding, and the bail on each Fibre Channel switch must be clamped onto the
cable itself, as shown in
SPS and UPS:
The wire cable bail is inserted into
the middle of the plug's plastic molding.

Power cable wire bails

If any cable has become disconnected, reconnect it as identified by the labels on
the cable and cabinet, as well as
