Installing the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8G4 in a rack

After installing the support rails, you can install the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8G4 in the rack.

CAUTION:
To avoid any hazard from the rack tipping forward when devices are installed, observe all safety precautions for the rack into which you are installing the device.

Perform the following steps to install the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8G4, which is also called a "node," in the rack:

  1. Extend the slides approximately 15 mm (6 in) from the front of the rack cabinet.
  2. Remove the protective metal guard and the shipping bracket from the back of the node.
  3. Align the two rear wheels on the node with the opening in the slides and then push the node into the slides until the rear slide release latches number two click into place, locking the node in the slides.
    Note: If two people are available, one person can stand on either side of the node to lift it into the rack.

  4. Pull the node out of the rack so the slides are fully extended.
  5. Press the front slide release latches number one on both sides of the node and move the node into the rack cabinet and back out to verify that the node moves freely.
  6. Securely tighten the four mounting screws that you previously installed at the front and rear of both rails.

  8. Repeat this procedure for each node that needs to be installed.
