IBM Storwize V7000 - Back up your data

Figure 7 on page 9 shows the canister release levers extended to either remove or replace the bottom
of the two node canisters in a Storwize V7000 2076-724/U7B control enclosure. The inverted (upside
down) upper node canister is also shown in the illustration.

Other differences between Storwize V7000 2076-724/U7B control enclosures and earlier control
enclosures are numerous:
• New Intel CPU platform: dual Intel Skylake 8 core 1.7GHz processors with 32 Hyperthreads per node
canister
• Removable Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
• From 4 to 24 DDR4 (288p socket) DIMMs in 24 DIMM slots in each node canister, supported as base
memory and cumulative, sequential upgrades:
– 64 GB per node canister as 4 x 16 GB DIMMs (default base installation)
– 128 GB per node canister as 8 x 16 GB DIMMs (the rst upgrade of 64 GB raises the cumulative total
to 128 GB total memory per canister)
– 192 GB per node canister as 12 x 16 GB DIMMs (the second upgrade of 64 GB raises the cumulative
total to 192 GB total memory per canister)
– 576 GB per node canister as 12 x 16 GB DIMMs and 12 x 32 GB DIMMs (the third upgrade of 384 GB
raises the cumulative total to 576 GB total memory per canister)
Note: The control enclosure has two canisters. To reach the system total cache of 1,152 GB, multiply
the above gure of 576 GB by two.
For other differences, see the system overview in the Knowledge Center.
Verify environmental requirements
The environmental and electrical requirements for the physical site must be met to ensure that your
system works reliably.
Before you install a 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.
The quick installation guide assumes that you have completed the physical planning for the environment
of your system. If you have not done the environmental planning for your system, see the " physical
installation planning" topic in the IBM Knowledge Center for the product. Complete the planning tasks
and worksheets before you install and initialize your system.
If your system contains more than one control enclosure, congure a Fibre Channel switch for correct
zoning between control enclosures for best results. See the conguring topics in IBM Knowledge Center
that contain information about zoning rules and zoning details.
To verify that your environment can support Storwize V7000 2076-724, see Appendix C, “Control
enclosure requirements,” on page 149.
