EMC VNX8000 Hardware Information Guide 155
As described in Table 56, the resulting numbering scheme for a sixteen-bus VNX8000
shipped from the factory is shown in Figure 125 on page 156 through Figure 128 on
page 159. These figures show the 6-Gb/s SAS I/O module slot location, port location in
the I/O module, and the cable with cable labels from the I/O module side to the LCC side
on the respective DAE.
