SAN Volume Controller 2145-8F4 and SAN Volume Controller
2145-8F2 environment requirements
Before the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8F4 or SAN Volume Controller 2145-8F2 is
installed, the physical environment must meet certain requirements. This includes
verifying that adequate space is available and that requirements for power and
environmental conditions are met.
Input-voltage requirements
Ensure that your environment meets the following voltage requirements.
Voltage
Frequency
200 to 240 V single phase ac
