each node canister, supported as:
– 32 GB per node canister as 2x 16 GB DIMMs (default base installation)
– 64 GB per node canister as 4x 16 GB DIMMs (upgrade: 2x DIMMs on default)
v Canister boot drive changes to M.2 form factor from “half-slim SATA” form
factor
v Support is dropped for 8 Gbps 4-port FC adapter
The labeling on the 2076-624 node canister also differs from the 2076-524 node

Verify environmental requirements
The environmental and electrical requirements for the physical site must be met to
ensure that your system works reliably.
Before installing a Storwize V7000 system, you must verify that adequate space in
a suitable rack is available. You must also ensure that the requirements for power
and environmental conditions are met.
