Figure 8 shows the LEDs and SAS port locations from the rear view of an expansion canister.
  • 1 LEDs
  • 2 SAS ports

Each canister has two SAS ports that are numbered 1 on the left and 2 on the right. Port 1 is used to connect to a SAS expansion port on a node canister or port 2 of another expansion canister.

Support rails and enclosures

Lenovo Storage V series systems use the same rails and enclosures for both control and expansion enclosures. All Lenovo Storage V series models use the same expansion enclosure.
  • The ledge on the inside of each rail supports the entire length of an enclosure.
  • The enclosure support rails capture the left and right rear edges of an inserted enclosure. This prevents the installed enclosure bouncing when the rack is subjected to quake or vibration.
  • The enclosure support rails adjust to fit racks from 595 mm to 755 mm deep, measured between the front and rear rack rails.
