Unpacking and verifying the contents
Before you start the installation process, ensure that the following items are available.
•
Philips screw driver
•
Box knife
•
Flat-blade screw driver (optional)
•
Three Ethernet cables
The control enclosure and the following related parts are included in one box. The enclosed inventory sheet lists the part numbers of the
items that were ordered. Items, such as drives and networking adapters, are preinstalled inside each node canister.
•
Control enclosure with the following components preinstalled:
– Two node canisters with optional networking adapters, SFPs, and memory.
Each IBM FlashSystem 7200 node canister contains three networking adapter slots. The same number and type of adapters must be
installed in each node canister. The control enclosure can contain 0, 2, 4, or 6 networking adapters.
Each Storwize V7000 Gen3 node canister has three adapter slots. By default, slot 3 contains a 4-port 12 Gbps SAS networking
adapter. If ordered, the same number and type of networking adapters are installed in slots 1 and 2 of each node canister. The
control enclosure can contain 2, 4, or 6 networking adapters.
– Two power supply units (PSUs).
– A combination of 24 drives and drive blanks.
The number of drives and drive blanks varies, according to the number of drives that were specified in the product order. For
example, if 12 drives were ordered, the drives and 12 drive blanks are preinstalled in the control enclosure.
•
Rail kit, which includes the left and right rails, and 8 securing M5 screws and locating pins.
•
Cables, if they were ordered, for the type and number of networking adapters that are installed in each node canister.
•
Two power cables.
