* A pair of LW SFP modules replaces a pair of SW SFP modules that ship standard with the 8 Gb FC HIC. Up to two LW SFP
module pairs per 8 Gb FC host interface card in the node canister; both node canisters must have the same connectivity type.
The Storwize V5000 control enclosures provide 6 Gb SAS internal dual-port drive connectivity, and each
control enclosure also has four 6 Gb SAS x4 (Mini-SAS HD SFF-8644) ports (2 port per node canister) for
6 Gb SAS expansion enclosure connectivity.
