3. VS2 hardwa hardware re only only : a. At the front of the cabinet, remove remove the 2U (3.5 inch) inch) front panel panel approximately approximately nine inches below the VPLEX nameplate, to expose the laptop service tray. Then remove and discard the two Phillips screws (used only for shipping) that secure the tray to the NEMA rails, and snap the front panel back into place. b. Remove each engine’s engine’s front panel. panel. Then check the latches latches on all power power supplies, and directors, and confirm that the components are secure. When finished, replace the front panel(s). VS2 engine, front view

b. At the rear of the cabinet, push in on on each director director and the I/O module module (IOM) carrier. If a component is not fully seated, loosen the orange screws, push the component firmly in, and retighten the screws. Verify that each IOM’s latch button is in:
68oF to 72 oF (20oC to 22 oC)
• Enough fiber-optic fiber-optic cables cables to make all necessary necessary I/O connections, connections, each cable with enough additional length to allow for component serviceability serviceability and a minimum two-inch bend radius

14. Connect customer-supplied fiber-optic cables from the front-end and back-end SANs to the appropriate VPLEX I/O ports. Do not touch the ends of any fiber-optic cable, to avoid damage or contamination. Use redundant physical Fibre Channel links to connect each host to the VPLEX directors, as well as each VPLEX director to the back-end storage. To prevent data unavailability, ensure that each host in a storage view has paths to at least two directors in a cluster, and that multipathing is configured to distribute the paths evenly between directors A and B in each engine:
17. VPLEX Metro™ or VPLEX Geo™ only - Connect the intercluster cables as shown in the figure that applies to your WAN COM connection. Ensure that each director has two independendent paths to each director in the other cluster. (The connections are the same for each engine in a cluster.) • VS1 directors with WAN connections over Fibre Channel:
