Installing the support rails: 2145-SV1

You must install the support rails before you install a SAN Volume Controller 2145-SV1 node in a rack.

To install the support rails, complete the following steps.

1. Locate the hardware that is used to install the rails, including the rail-mounting pins, M5 screws, and M5 washers. Set the hardware aside for use later in the installation process.
2. Select an available 2U space (depending on the node you are installing) in your rack to install your node, as shown in Figure 1.
   Note: When you install a SAN Volume Controller 2145-SV1, be sure to install the slide rails in the bottom U of the 2U area in the rack.
