IBM Europe Hardware Announcement ZG17-0031, dated March 14, 2017 IBM Storwize V5030F and V7000F all-flash highdensity expansion enclosure model meets the demand for high speed storage in a smaller footprint Table of contents 1 Overview 13 Publications 1 Key prerequisites 13 Technical information 2 Planned availability date 16 Terms and conditions 2 Description 22 Prices 3 Product number 22 Announcement countries At a glance IBM (R) Storwize (R) All-flash High Density Expansion Enclosure Model A9F offers the following features: Support for attachment to IBM Storwize V5030F and V7000F 5U, 19-inch rack-mount enclosure with slide rail and cable management assembly Support for up to ninety-two 3.5-inch large-form factor (LFF) 12 Gbps SAS toploading flash drives Redundant 200-240 V AC power supplies Overview Designed for software-defined environments and built with IBM Spectrum Virtualize TM software, the IBM Storwize family is an industry-leading solution for storage virtualization. The Storwize family includes technologies to complement and enhance virtual environments to deliver a simpler, more scalable and cost-efficient IT infrastructure. The Storwize family is adding an all-flash, LFF, high-density expansion enclosure, Model A9F, that is attachable to Storwize V7000F and Storwize V5030F control enclosures. This model meets the demand for higher speed storage in a smaller footprint. All-flash arrays provide higher IOPS and bandwidth with lower power and total cost of ownership than hybrid or HDD-based solutions. Key prerequisites High-density expansion enclosure Model A9F requires IBM Spectrum Virtualize Software V7.8, or later, for operation. Use of the software is entitled through the acquisition of IBM Spectrum Virtualize software licenses. For a comprehensive list of supported environments, devices, and configurations, go to the IBM System (R) Interoperation Center.

Physical configuration and installation planning are customer responsibilities. It is a customer responsibility to review the NEBS and ETSI test results documents to determine the testing performed on the models and features meet their requirements. Contact your IBM sales representative or Business Partner to obtain a copy of the test result documents. Logical configuration planning and application Logical configuration planning is a customer responsibility. Application of the initial logical configuration and all subsequent modifications to the logical configuration is a customer responsibility. You are responsible for downloading or obtaining from IBM, and installing designated Machine Code (microcode, basic input/output system code (called BIOS), utility programs, device drivers, and diagnostics delivered with an IBM machine) and other software updates in a timely manner from an IBM internet website or from other electronic media, and following the instructions that IBM provides. You may request IBM to install Machine Code changes; however, you may be charged for that service. Cable orders As a convenience, a limited selection of cables can be ordered with the high-density expansion enclosure. Refer to the Product number section for feature numbers. Cables and installation services are also available from IBM Network Integration and Deployment Services, an IBM Global Services offering. Cables are required to connect an expansion enclosure to the storage engine. This requires a 12 Gbps mini-sas HD 4x cable terminated with SFF-8644 connectors. The following SAS cables can be ordered with the high-density expansion enclosure: 3 m 12 Gbps SAS cable (msas HD to msas HD) 6 m 12 Gbps SAS cable (msas HD to msas HD) Security, auditability, and control This product uses the security and auditability features of the preloaded application software. The customer is responsible for evaluation, selection, and implementation of security features, administrative procedures, and appropriate controls in application systems and communications facilities.

Customers should consult with their financial personnel on the appropriate financial treatment for this offering. To obtain copies of the IBM Statement of Limited Warranty, contact your reseller or IBM. An IBM part or feature installed during the initial installation of an IBM machine is subject to the full warranty period specified by IBM. An IBM part or feature that replaces a previously installed part or feature assumes the remainder of the warranty period for the replaced part or feature. An IBM part or feature added to a machine without replacing a previously installed part or feature is subject to a full warranty. Unless specified otherwise, the warranty period, type of warranty service, and service level of a part or feature are the same as those for the machine in which it is installed. Warranty service If required, IBM provides repair or exchange service depending on the types of warranty service specified for the machine. IBM will attempt to resolve your problem over the telephone, or electronically through an IBM website. Certain machines contain remote support capabilities for direct problem reporting, remote problem determination, and resolution with IBM. You must follow the problem determination and resolution procedures that IBM specifies. Following problem determination, if IBM determines on-site service is required, scheduling of service will depend upon the time of your call, machine technology and redundancy, and availability of parts. If applicable to your product, parts considered Customer Replaceable Units (CRUs) will be provided as part of the machine's standard warranty service. Service levels are response-time objectives and are not guaranteed. The specified level of warranty service may not be available in all worldwide locations. Additional charges may apply outside IBM's normal service area. Contact your local IBM representative or your reseller for country-specific and location-specific information. Customer Replaceable Unit (CRU) Service IBM provides replacement CRUs to you for you to install. CRU information and replacement instructions are shipped with your machine and are available from IBM upon your request. CRUs are designated as being either a Tier 1 (mandatory) or a Tier 2 (optional) CRU. Tier 1 (mandatory) CRU Installation of Tier 1 CRUs, as specified in this announcement, is your responsibility. If IBM installs a Tier 1 CRU at your request, you will be charged for the installation. Tier 2 (optional) CRU You may install a Tier 2 CRU yourself or request IBM to install it, at no additional charge. Based upon availability, CRUs will be shipped for next business day (NBD) delivery. IBM specifies, in the materials shipped with a replacement CRU, whether a defective CRU must be returned to IBM. When return is required, return instructions and a container are shipped with the replacement CRU. You may be charged for the replacement CRU if IBM does not receive the defective CRU within 15 days of your receipt of the replacement.

Replacement parts are shipped to your location for you to install. IBM will use commercially reasonable delivery methods to ship the replacement part for NBD delivery. Advanced Part Exchange warranty service is not available in all countries. You must be approved and registered to use this service. Contact your IBM representative or your reseller for further information. Non-IBM parts service IBM is now shipping machines with selected non-ibm parts that contain an IBM field replaceable unit (FRU) part number label. These parts are to be serviced during the IBM machine warranty period. IBM is covering the service on these selected non- IBM parts as an accommodation to their customers, and normal warranty service procedures for the IBM machine apply. International Warranty Service International Warranty Service allows you to relocate any machine that is eligible for International Warranty Service and receive continued warranty service in any country where the IBM machine is serviced. If you move your machine to a different country, you are required to report the machine information to your Business Partner or IBM representative. The warranty service type and the service level provided in the servicing country may be different from that provided in the country in which the machine was purchased. Warranty service will be provided with the prevailing warranty service type and service level available for the eligible machine type in the servicing country, and the warranty period observed will be that of the country in which the machine was purchased.
