Installing the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8G4 cable retention bracket

The cable retention bracket ensures that the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8G4 node does not mistakenly become unplugged from the uninterruptible power supply.

The SAN Volume Controller 2145-8G4 comes with a cable retention bracket that attaches to the back of the node. The cable retention bracket is connected with the screws that already hold the rear plate of the power supply in place.
