Identifying Storwize V5100 node canisters
The Storwize V5100 node canisters include hardware changes that signicantly differ from earlier model
node canisters. The differences help distinguish the types of node canisters. The main difference is that
Storwize V5100 node canisters are not side by side in the control enclosure, but each is the full width
(minus the width of both power supplies) and half the height of the control enclosure, sitting one above
the other in an inverted orientation.
Figure 7 on page 8 shows the canister release levers extended to either remove or replace the bottom
of the two node canisters in a Storwize V5100 control enclosure. The inverted (upside down) upper node
canister is also shown in the illustration.

Other differences between Storwize V5100 control enclosures and earlier control enclosures are
numerous:
• New Intel CPU platform: Intel Xeon Bronze 8 core 1.7GHz processor with 16 Hyperthreads per node
canister
• Removable Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
