System component description
This section describes the VNX8000 platform components. Included in this section are
illustrations and descriptions of the front and rear connectors as well as the LED
indicators.
Note: In the following sections, the illustrations and corresponding tables describe these
individual components. These descriptions are for illustrative purposes only.
Installing, replacing, and removing faulted hardware components
Separate documents provide instructions for installing, replacing, and removing hardware
components in the VNX8000 platform. For more information, refer to the respective
document for the correct procedure. These documents are available online at
https://mydocs.emc.com/VNX/ and go to VNX tasks, then select Add VNX hardware. Next,
follow the steps in the wizard.
Example:
To replace a power supply/cooling module in the SPE9 of a VNX8000, go to the
Replacing
a storage processor power supply/cooling module or fan module
document for the correct
procedures to replace a power supply/cooling module in a SPE9 storage processor
enclosure. This procedure is available online at https://mydocs.emc.com/VNX/ and go to
VNX tasks, then select Add VNX hardware. Next, follow the steps in the wizard.
VNX8000 front view
As previously described, the File/Unified VNX8000 platform is made up of a 4U SPE, one
to two 1U Control Stations (one optional), two SPSs (one for the SPE and the other for the
Vault DAE), and one to four 2U DMEs with two to eight DMs. The following sections
describe the front view (Figure 1 on page 7) of the VNX8000 platform components.
The VNX8000 platform requires two dual 2U SPSs. One for the 4U SPE and one for the
Vault DAE. The 2U SPS contains two 2U 2.2-kilowatt Lithium-ion batteries housed in a
separate 2U tray. One set of 2U SPS batteries provides backup power to the storage
processors in the 4U storage processor enclosure (SPE). This set of SPS batteries is
referred to as either the SPE SPS or SPS 0. The other set of 2U SPS batteries provides
backup power to the Bus 0 Enclosure 0 DAE. This set of SPS batteries is referred to as
either the Bus 0 Enclosure 0 SPS or SPS 1.
