Replacing the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8A4 cable retention bracket

The cable-retention bracket attaches to the back of the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8A4 node. It is connected to the back of the node with the screw that already holds the rear plate of the power supply in place.

To attach the bracket, perform the following steps:

  1. Insert the power cable in the node.
  2. Unscrew the retaining screw  1  that is located next to the power cable socket three full turns, but do not fully remove the screw, as shown in Figure 1.

  3. Slide the bracket jaw over the power cable.
  4. Slide the bracket down the cable until it is next to the power plug and slightly to the right of where it needs to be.
  5. Place the bottom lip of the retention bracket in the node chassis as shown in Figure 2. Turn the bracket at a slight angle, squeeze the top and bottom together, and position the top lip in place behind the chassis back plate.
