Technician port for Lenovo Storage V7000 Gen2

A technician port is available on the rear of the Lenovo Storage V7000 Gen2 system for service support.

Use the technician port to access the initialization tool for a Lenovo Storage V7000 Gen2 control enclosure. You do not use the USB flash drive for Lenovo Storage V7000 Gen2 initialization.

(Lenovo Storage V7000 Gen2 control enclosures can use a Lenovo Storage V7000 Gen1 USB flash drive for other purposes but not for initialization.)

Verify that you are using a supported operating system. The initialization tool is valid for the following operating systems:
  • Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit), or Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)
  • Apple MacOS X 10.71
  • Red Hat Enterprise Server 5 and 6
  • Ubuntu desktop 11.04 and 13.10
