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 any 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
the other parts. A label on the third, or main, box indicates the
features that were shipped.
Two SAN Volume Controller
2145-CG8 nodes
might arrive on one pallet or each node might arrive separately on
its own pallet.
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 uninterruptible power
supply to
the power distribution unit.
See the related links at the end of this topic 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.
The planning information provides
guidelines for completing the planning tables and charts. These tables include the location of
hardware, cable connection, and configuration data information that you need to complete the
installation procedures. If you are connecting cables to switches that are currently in use, confirm
with the customer that it is safe for you to proceed. Go no further with these instructions until
you are satisfied that all the information is correct and valid.
- The label on the main box indicates features that were
shipped. Make sure that the contents and quantity match the order.
