Overview
The two-port 10-Gb/s copper Ethernet (RJ-45) ports on the two-port 10-Gb/s copper
Ethernet I/O personality module are LAN ports not WAN ports. LAN ports contain safety
extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits, and WAN ports contain telephone-network voltage (TNV)
circuits. Some LAN and WAN ports both use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when
connecting cables. To avoid electric shock, do not connect TNV circuits to SELV
circuits.Figure 14 shows an example of the VNXe3150 platform SP optional two-port
10-Gb/s copper Ethernet personality module. The ports are labeled e0 and e1 and are
used for front-end connectivity. These ports support speeds up to 10-Gb/s Ethernet
transmission rates over copper wiring.

Table 8 describes the SP optional 10-Gb/s copper Ethernet personality module fault and
port LEDs.
The ports shown in Figure 14 are LAN ports. A symbol depicting a telephone handset with
a line through it indicates that you should not connect WAN type RJ-45 telephone
connectors to these ports.
To access the Ethernet ports, connect a Category 6 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable to
the RJ-45 connectors on the back of the SP 1-Gb/s copper Ethernet personality module, as
described in Table 7 on page 28.
