Replacing the SAN Volume Controller 2145-CF8 cable-retention brackets

Replace one of the two cable-retention brackets on the back of the SAN Volume Controller 2145-CF8 to anchor the power cord that runs from the uninterruptible power-supply to one of the two SAN Volume Controller 2145-CF8 power supplies.

The SAN Volume Controller 2145-CF8 uses two toolless cable-retention brackets, one to retain each cable from the uninterruptible power-supply to one of the two SAN Volume Controller 2145-CF8 power supplies, as shown in Figure 1.

Each cable-retention bracket attaches to the back of the SAN Volume Controller 2145-CF8 node. The brackets connect without screws.

To replace each cable-retention bracket, perform these steps:

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. If you removed any fibre-channel or Ethernet cables, use the labels you placed on each cable to replace all fibre-channel and Ethernet cables in the same ports from which they were removed.
   
3. Loosely install the cable-retention bracket on a power cord by slipping the power cord into the notch on the rear of the bracket.
4. Align the cable-retention bracket on the power cord so that the bracket is to the left of the cord, as shown by  2  in Figure 1.
5. Align the power cord with the power connector on the power supply and the bracket with the power-supply handle.
6. Push the power cord into the power connector on the power supply.
7. Carefully push the bracket against the power-supply handle to force the spring clip ( 1 ) over the leading edge of the handle.
8. Lift the locking levers ( 1  in Figure 2) on the slide rails and push the server  2  all the way into the rack until it clicks into place.
