Replacing the SAN Volume Controller 2145-CF8 top cover

This topic describes how to replace the SAN Volume Controller 2145-CF8 top cover.

1. If you removed the node from the rack, replace the node in the rack, as described in Replacing the SAN Volume Controller in a rack.
   
2. Make sure that all cables, adapters, and other components are installed and seated correctly and that you have not left loose tools or parts inside the node. Make sure that all internal cables are correctly routed. If you disconnected the fibre-channel and Ethernet cables, make sure that each cable is reconnected to the same port from which it was removed.
   
3. If you removed the power cords, replace the power cords and the cable-retention brackets, as described in Replacing the cable-retention bracket.
   
4. Position the cover on top of the SAN Volume Controller 2145-CF8.
   Important: Before you slide the cover forward, make sure that all the tabs on both the front, rear, and side of the cover engage the chassis correctly. If all the tabs do not engage the chassis correctly, it will be very difficult to remove the cover later.
5. Slide the cover toward the front of the node, as shown in Figure 1.
