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 45).

Note: The front of the rail assembly looks different from the front, as you can see in Figure 45.

3. 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.

4. Connect the power cable to the node and replace the cable-retention bracket. See “Replacing the

cable-retention bracket” on page 34.

5. Turn on the node.
