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

Follow these instructions when you are prompted to replace the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8G4.

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 2145-8G4 in a rack:

  1. Fully extend the support slides.
  2. Align the node on the slide rails and push the node fully into the rack. Secure the node to the front mounting flanges with the captive thumbscrews ( 1  in Figure 1).

  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 ( 2  in Figure 2) click into place, locking the node in the slides.

  4. Reconnect the fibre-channel and Ethernet cables. Ensure that you replace the fibre-channel and Ethernet cables in the same ports from which they were removed.
  5. Connect the power cable to the node and replace the cable-retention bracket. See Replacing the cable-retention bracket.
  6. Turn on the node.
