Identifying Storwize V7000 2076-624 and Storwize V7000 2076-U7A
node canisters
The Storwize V7000 2076-624 node canister and the Storwize V7000 2076-U7A node
canister include hardware changes that are significantly different than the Storwize
V7000 2076-524 node canister. The changes can facilitate distinguishing between the
two types of node canisters.
From the outside, the node canisters are structurally identical. However, the
2076-624 node canister and the 2076-U7A node canister contain the following
hardware components that are different from the 2076-524 node canister. All other
components of the 2076-624 node canister and the 2076-U7A node canister are the
same as those components in the 2076-524.
v New Intel CPU platform
v PCIe adapter slot 2 (middle slot) connector that is increased from x8 to x16 PCIe
connector, although the upper eight PCIe lanes are not connected.
v Removable Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
v Change from four DDR3 (240p socket) to four DDR4 (288p socket) DIMMs in
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 No support for the 8 Gbps 4-port FC adapter
The labeling on the 2076-624 node canister and the 2076-U7A node canister also
differs from the 2076-524 node canister.
v A “600” label is included on the rear of the canister, under the jack (spanner)
port, facing backwards
v The top and bottom serial labels on the release handle are redesigned
Figure 7 on page 11 shows the serial label on the release handle.
