IBM 2145-CF8 Hardware Installation Manual page 35

Before you start the installation, verify that all the parts that were ordered have
been received and that all the component assemblies are complete. Verify that you
know the quantity of nodes and optional features that were ordered.
Three boxes are shipped for each node: one box contains the uninterruptible power
supply, one box contains the publications, and the third box contains all the other
parts. A label on the third, or main, box indicates the features that were shipped.
Note:
1. You must install at least two SAN Volume Controller nodes. Each node
requires an uninterruptible power supply.
2. Optionally, install two redundant ac-power switches to power the nodes
in an I/O group through two 2145 UPS-1U units.
3. You must ensure that you have the appropriate cables to connect the
redundant ac-power switch or uninterruptible power supply to the
power distribution unit. See Appendix B, "SAN Volume Controller
physical installation planning," on page 41 for more details.
Perform the following steps to prepare for installation:
1. Ensure that you have everything you need for installation, including the
customer-completed planning tables and charts. The customer can obtain the
planning tables and charts from www.ibm.com/storage/support/2145.
The IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller Planning Guide provides
guidelines for completing the planning tables and charts. These tables include
the location of hardware, cable connection, and configuration data information
that you need to complete the installation procedures. If you are connecting
cables to switches that are currently in use, confirm with the customer that it is
safe for you to proceed. Go no further with these instructions until you are
satisfied that all the information is correct and valid.
2. The label on the main box indicates features that were shipped. Make sure that
the contents and quantity match the order.
