System component description
Storage processor management module
The storage processor (SP) management module provides the management connections
via one 10/100/1000 Ethernet (RJ-45) port. Another RJ-45 port is available to support a
service laptop connection. The SP management module includes two RS-232/EIA 232
(DB-9) serial socket connectors (one for service laptop connection and the other for an
SPS connection), a USB port (not used), and several LEDs (Figure 19).

Storage processor management module Ethernet (RJ-45) ports
The VNX8000 platform storage processor (SP) management module comes with two
integrated dual-port Ethernet ports (labeled with a symbol depicting a wrench and the
other depicting network management) on the rear of the management module. The SP
management port provides an interface for connecting a 10-, 100-, or 1000-Mb/s cable to
the LAN providing full-duplex (FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous transmission
and reception of data.
To access the SP management port, connect a Category 3, 4, 5, 5E, or 6 unshielded
twisted-pair (UTP) cable to this RJ-45 modular jack connector on the back of the SP
management module, as described in Table 13 on page 38.
Since the 1U Control Station and the management module have the same type of
management (RJ-45) ports, “Control Station Ethernet (RJ-45) ports” on page 38 provides
detailed information about the SP management module ports, connector, and adapter.
