Follow these instructions when you are prompted to replace the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8F4 or the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8F2 in a rack.

Attention: Do not touch the power control switches on adjacent SAN Volume Controller nodes when you remove or install SAN Volume Controller nodes in a rack. Touching these switches on adjacent SAN Volume Controller nodes might cause those devices to turn off and make customer data inaccessible.

Perform the following steps to replace the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8F4 or the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8F2 in the rack:

  1. Slide the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8F4 or the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8F2 node into the rack.
  2. Latch the two latches on the front of the rack to attach the node to the rack. ( 1  in Figure 1).
    Note: The front of the rail assembly looks different from the front, as you can see in Figure 1.
