Planning for the physical location includes documenting the rack locations of the enclosures and other devices that are based on the requirements of each device.
The hardware location chart represents the rack into which the Lenovo Storage V7000 enclosures are installed. Each row of the chart represents one Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) 19-inch wide by 1.75-inch tall rack space or unit, each of which is commonly referred to as 1U of the rack. As you design your Lenovo Storage V7000 rack, use Table 2 to record the physical configuration of the 2U Lenovo Storage V7000 enclosure, and other devices in your system.
A mounting rail kit is provided with each control enclosure and expansion enclosure. Each rail can expand to accommodate a range of rack depths, which are measured between the front and rear mounting posts of the rack.
To install Lenovo Storage V7000 Gen2 control and expansion enclosures into a rack, the rack must be 685 - 755 mm deep, measured between the front and rear mounting posts.
To install Lenovo Storage V7000 Gen1 control and expansion enclosures into a rack, the rack must be 755 - 785 mm deep, measured between the front and rear mounting posts.
| Enclosure | Rail Length (Rack Depth) |
|---|---|
| Lenovo Storage V7000 Gen2 control enclosure | 685 - 765 mm |
| Lenovo Storage V7000 Gen2 expansion enclosure | 595 - 755 mm |
| Lenovo Storage V7000 Gen1 control enclosure | 755 - 785 mm |
| Lenovo Storage V7000 Gen1 expansion enclosure | 755 - 785 mm |
If the rack contains sufficient space, plan to install the control enclosure in the middle of the rack to minimize the length of the SAS cables (required to connect expansion enclosures to the control enclosure).

A clustered system is a collection of control enclosures that are managed as a single system. Each control enclosure contains two node canisters. The two node canisters within the control enclosure form the node pair that attaches to the SAN fabric.
