Before the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8F4 or SAN Volume Controller 2145-8F2 is installed, the physical environment must meet certain requirements. This includes verifying that adequate space is available and that requirements for power and environmental conditions are met.
Ensure that your environment meets the following voltage requirements.
| Voltage | Frequency |
|---|---|
| 200 to 240 V single phase ac | 50 or 60 Hz |
Ensure that your environment meets the following power requirements.
The power that is required depends on the node type and whether the redundant ac power feature is used.
| Components | Power requirements |
|---|---|
| SAN Volume Controller 2145-8F4 and 2145 UPS-1U | 520 W |
| SAN Volume Controller 2145-8F2 and 2145 UPS-1U | 520 W |
For each redundant ac-power switch, add 20 W to the power requirements.
The 2145 UPS-1U has an integrated circuit breaker and does not require additional protection.
Ensure that your environment falls within the following ranges if you are not using redundant ac power.
| Environment | Temperature | Altitude | Relative humidity | Maximum wet bulb temperature |
|---|---|---|---|---|
