Note: For 1 Gb iSCSI and management connectivity, Storwize V7000 requires a Category 5 or Category
5E Ethernet cable that is terminated with an 8P8C modular connector (RJ-45 compatible connector). This
cable is not supplied by Lenovo and must be supplied by the customer.
The Storwize V7000 controller units provide 12 Gb SAS internal dual-port drive connectivity, and each
controller unit also has four 12 Gb SAS x4 (Mini-SAS HD SFF-8644) ports (2 port per node canister) for
12 Gb SAS expansion unit connectivity.
Expansion units
The Storwize V7000 supports attachment of up to 20 Storwize V7000 SFF or LFF Storage Expansion Units.
Intermix of SFF and LFF expansion units is supported. The expansion enclosures can be added to the
system non-disruptively.
