Expansion Enclosure - IBM Storwize V5010 Manual

Important: The 1/10 Gbps Ethernet ports do not support speeds less than 1 Gbps
(100 Mbps is not supported).
Ensure that you use the correct port connectors. The Storwize V5030 canister 10 Gbps
connectors appear the same as the 1 Gbps connectors on the other Storwize V5000
models. These RJ45 connectors differ from the optical small form-factor plug able
(SFP+) connectors on the optional 10 Gbps HIC. When you plan to implement the
Storwize V5030, ensure that any network switches provide the correct connector type.
One USB port to gather system information.
System initialization: Unlike the Storwize V5000 Gen1, you must perform the system
initialization of the Storwize V5030 by using the technician port instead of the USB port.
Two 12 Gbps serial-attached SCSI (SAS 3.0) ports. The ports are numbered 1 and 2 from
left to right to connect to the optional expansion enclosures. The Storwize V5030 supports
up to 20 expansion enclosures. Ten expansion enclosures can be connected to each port.
Important: The canister SAS ports on the Storwize V5030 do not support SAS host
attachment. The Storwize V5030 supports SAS hosts by using an HIC. See 1.5.6, "Host
interface cards" on page 18.
Do not use the port that is marked with a wrench. This port is a service port only.

1.5.5 Expansion enclosure

The optional IBM Storwize V5000 Gen2 expansion enclosure contains two expansion
canisters, disk drives, and two power supplies. Four types of expansion enclosures are
available: large form factor 2u (LFF) Expansion Enclosure Model 12F, a small form factor 2U
(SFF) Expansion Enclosure Model 24F, a small form factor 2U (SFF) Expansion Enclosure for
flash drives Model AFF and the high density drawers 5U LFF Model 92F or the flash version
A9F. They are available with one or three-year warranty.
Figure 1-9 shows the rear of the 2U expansion enclosure.

The expansion enclosure power supplies are the same as the control enclosure power
supplies. A single power lead connector is on each power supply unit.
Each expansion canister provides two SAS interfaces that are used to connect to the control
enclosure and any further optional expansion enclosures. The ports are numbered 1 on the
left and 2 on the right. SAS port 1 is the IN port, and SAS port 2 is the OUT port.
