Identifying the hardware components
The following graphics identify hardware components and port locations for the control enclosures and
expansion enclosures of the system.
Control enclosure components
The Storwize V7000 2076-724/U7B control enclosure contains two node canisters. A label on the control
enclosure identies each node canister and power supply unit (PSU). As Figure 1 on page 6 shows,
node canister 1 is on top and node canister 2 is on the bottom. Because the node canisters are inverted,
the location of the ports and the numbering of the ports are oriented differently on each node canister. It
is important to remember this orientation when you are installing adapters and cables.

For example, Figure 2 on page 6 shows the top node canister. On this canister, the numbering of the
PCIe slots and ports goes from right to left. PCIe adapter slot 1 contains a 4-port 16 Gbps Fibre Channel
adapter. PCIe slot 2 contains a 2-port 25 Gbps iWarp Ethernet adapter. PCIe slot 3 contains a 4-port 12
Gbps SAS adapter. The onboard Ethernet and USB ports are also shown.

Figure 3 on page 6 shows the bottom node canister. This node canister has the same type and number
of adapters installed. However, on the bottom canister, the numbering of the PCI slots and ports goes
from left to right.

Data ports
Four 10 Gbps Ethernet ports on each node canister provide system management connections and iSCSI
host connectivity. The onboard 10 Gbps Ethernet ports use RJ-45 connections, not optical connections.
