There are several steps that you must perform to prepare
for the installation of the optional redundant ac-power switch,
the uninterruptible
power supply,
and the SAN Volume Controller.
Figure 1 illustrates
the major hardware components that you need.

- 7 SAN Volume Controller 2145-8A4 cable
retention bracket
- 8 Optionally, one or more redundant ac-power switches,
two mounting brackets per switch, and power cables.
Two 2145 UPS-1U input-power cables,
which are not shown in Figure 1, are also provided.
One cable comes with the 2145 UPS-1U;
it has an IEC 320-C14 plug, which is suitable for most rack-mounted power distribution units.
The other country-specific cable comes with the SAN Volume Controller node;
this cable is intended for use with your country-specific power sockets.
You will use only one of these cables.
Before you start the
installation, verify that all the parts that were ordered have been
received and that all the component assemblies are complete. Ensure
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: - You must install at least two SAN Volume Controller nodes.
Each node requires an uninterruptible
power supply.
- Optionally, install two redundant ac-power switches to
power the nodes in an I/O group through two 2145 UPS-1U units.
- 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 Redundant ac-power environment requirements and Power cables for the 2145 UPS-1U for more details.
Perform the following steps to prepare for installation:
- 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.
