Ten fan modules (eight 80 mm fan modules and two 40 mm fan modules).
Four physical I/O modules.
An I/O architectural design capable of providing:
– Up to 8 lanes of I/O to an I/O adapter card; each lane capable of up to 16 Gbps
– A maximum of 16 lanes of I/O to a half wide-node with two adapters
– A wide variety of networking solutions including Ethernet, Fibre Channel, FCoE, and
InfiniBand
Up to two IBM Flex System Manager (FSM) management appliances for redundancy. The
FSM provides multiple-chassis management support for up to four chassis.
Two IBM Flex System Chassis Management Module (CMMs). The CMM provides
single-chassis management support.
The chassis can be configured with the following information about the chassis location:
Rack Room
Rack Location
Position in Rack (the lowest Rack Unit occupied by the Chassis)
Chassis Name
Bay ID
Individual components will then be able to work out their bay in the chassis, the IBM Flex
System V7000 Storage Node enclosure uses 4 bays (double wide and double tall) per
enclosure and will report its bay as the lowest left bay that it occupies.
Figure 1-5 shows the rear of the chassis where the I/O modules and chassis management
modules can be seen.
