Chapter 1. Storwize V7000 Unified hardware components

A Storwize V7000 Unified system consists of 1 or more machine type 2076
rack-mounted enclosures and 2 machine type 2073 rack-mounted file modules.
Control enclosures contain the node canisters that manage the system operation
and provide the host interfaces. Expansion enclosures provide more extra drives
that can be managed by the system. Enclosures can support 2.5 inch (6.35 cm)
small form factor drives or 3.5 inch (8.89 cm) large form factor drives.
There are several model types for the 2076 machine type. The main differences
among the model types are the following items:
v The number of drives that an enclosure can hold. Drives are on the front of the
v Whether the model is a control enclosure or an expansion enclosure
v If the control enclosure has either 1 Gbps Ethernet capability or 10 Gbps
The machine type and model for the file module is 2073-720.

Components in the front of the 2073-700 file module

This topic describes the components in the front of the file module.
Figure 1 shows the various front ports and hardware for the 2073-700 file module:

enclosure. An enclosure can hold up to 12 3.5-inch drives or up to 24 2.5-inch
drives.
Control enclosures contain the main processing units that control the whole
system. They are where external systems such as host application servers, other
storage systems, and management workstations are connected through the
Ethernet ports or Fibre Channel ports. Control enclosures can also be connected
to expansion enclosures through the serial-attached SCSI (SAS) ports.
Expansion enclosures contain more storage capacity. Expansion enclosures
connect either to control enclosures or to other expansion enclosures through the
SAS ports.
