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 V5100 control enclosure contains two node canisters. A label on the control enclosure
identifies each node canister and power supply unit (PSU). As Figure 1 on page 5 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.
Figure 1. Label showing the orientation of the node canisters and PSUs
For example, Figure 2 on page 5 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 12 Gbps SAS adapter
and slot 2 contains a 4-port 16 Gbps Fibre Channel 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 the ports goes
from left to right.
