Task 1: Unpack and
set up the cabinet Follow the steps in the EMC 40U-C Cabinet Unpacking and Setup Guide , which
accompanies each VPLEX cabinet (and is available on Powerlink).

If any of these components is not fully seated, loosen the orange captive screws,
push the component firmly into the backplane, and retighten the thumbscrews.
2. Confirm that all I/O modules are fully seated.
3. Confirm that all thumbscrews are finger-tight.
4. Confirm that all cables in the cabinet (except AC cables to site power) are securely
connected, and that the wire bail on each SPS power cable, as well as (if present)
each UPS and Fibre Channel switch power cable, is secure.
The bail on each SPS and UPS cable must be clamped onto the plug’s plastic
molding, and the bail on each Fibre Channel switch must be clamped onto the
cable itself, as shown in
Figure 6 .
