Ensure that the planning charts and tables are complete and that you have received all
the required parts as you prepare for the installation of the optional redundant AC-power
switch, the uninterruptible power
supply, and the SAN Volume Controller
2145-CF8.
Before you begin
Note: The parts for installation of the SAN Volume Controller
2145-CF8 are the
same as the parts for the installation of the SAN Volume Controller
2145-CF8. Sections
in this task refer to CG8 parts and documentation but are valid for the CF8.
Figure 1 shows the major
hardware components that you need for installing your
uninterruptible power
supply.

Not shown in Figure 1 are two 2145
UPS-1U
input-power
cables that are provided. One
cable comes with the 2145
UPS-1U; it has an IEC 320-C14 plug, which is suitable for almost every rack-mounted power distribution unit. The other country-specific cable
comes with the SAN Volume Controller node; this cable is
intended for your country-specific power sockets. Use only one of these cables.
Before you start the installation, verify that all the parts that were ordered have been received
and that all the component assemblies are complete. Verify that you know the quantity of nodes and
optional features that were ordered.
Three boxes are shipped for each node: one box contains the uninterruptible power
supply, one box contains the publications,
and the third box contains all of the other parts. A label on the third, or main, box indicates the
features that were shipped.
Note: - You must install at least two SAN Volume Controller
nodes. Each node requires an uninterruptible power
supply.
- Optionally, install two redundant AC-power
switches to power the nodes in an
I/O group through two 2145 UPS-1U
units.
- You must ensure that you have the appropriate cables to connect the redundant AC-power
switch or the uninterruptible power
supply to the power distribution unit. See Redundant AC-power environment requirements and Power cables for the 2145 UPS-1U
for more details.
About this task
To prepare for
installation:
Procedure
- Ensure that you have everything you need for
installation, including the customer-completed planning tables and charts. The customer can obtain
the planning tables and charts from www.ibm.com/support.
