SAS ports and LEDs in rear view of a Lenovo Storage V series expansion canister 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.
