EMC VNX Series

10 EMC VNX8000 Hardware Information Guide
VNX8000 product description
• On the rear, each SPS consists of:
– One power on/off rocker switch
– One AC power in connector (recessed plug)
– Four DC power out connectors (sockets)
– Four status LEDs (on-line power, on-battery, no battery, and internal fault)
– One RJ-12 management connector
◆ One 4U SPE:
• On the front, each 4U SPE (Figure 2 on page 8) has two SPs (SP A on the bottom
half and B on the top half).
Each SP consists of:
– Five cooling fans; each fan has one LED; this LED is lit below each fan when
powering up and goes out when each fan is at the proper operating speed
Note: Each cooling fan is secured with push-tabs on the top and bottom of the
fan.
– Two CPU modules with an Intel Xeon 8-core 2.7-GHz processor facilitating
Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT).
– Sixteen Double Data Rate Three (DDR3) synchronous dynamic RAM (SDRAM)
slots supporting up to 128 GB of SDRAM per CPU module or SP using 8 GB
DIMMs
– Four internal 2.5-inch SAS/SATA hard drive slots (not used at this time)
– Four LEDs; SP power (blue), SP chassis fault (amber), SP fault (blue/amber),
and SP unsafe-to-remove (white)
Note: The SP is viewed as an enclosure within an enclosure (or SPE). Thus, an
SP chassis or enclosure fault LED (amber) is provided.
– Two power supplies with three LEDs [AC, DC, and DC fault (labeled with an !)];
each power supply has a built-in power cord within the power supply assembly
that runs along the power supply up the front where it is connected to two
recessed plugs (one gray, one black); see the rear of the SP power supply for
information about PDU power and SPS power connections (“Rear view” on
page 8)
• On the rear of the VNX8000, the 4U SPE (Figure 2 on page 8) has two SPs (SP A on
the bottom half and SP B on the top half).
Each SP consists of:
– One management module (see “Storage processor management module” on
page page 34 for more information) featuring:
a.) One RS-232/EIA 232 serial (up to 115 K baud) service laptop (micro DB-9)
port
b.) One RS-232/EIA 232 serial SPS management (micro DB-9) port
