Control Station rear view
On the rear, viewing from left to right, the File/Unified VNX8000 platform Control Station
includes the following components:
◆ AC power in connector
◆ Five (RJ-45) connectors (labeled A, CS, B, and two MGMT [one not used, see location 2
in Figure 23])
Note: The RJ-45 connectors (labeled CS and A, respectively) are integrated into the
rear of the 1U Control Station while the RJ-45 connectors (labeled B and MGMT,
respectively) are on a PCI-e card in the expansion slot on the rear of the Control
Station. The fifth RJ-45 connector (labeled MGMT) is located to the left of the RJ-45
connector labeled CS. Newer CS models have a dust cover in this port.
◆ One (DB-9 plug) serial (RS-232/EIA-232) connector
◆ One (DB-9 plug) modem (RS-232/EIA-232) connector
◆ One (DB-15) video (VGA socket) connector—not used
◆ Four USB 2.0 connectors—not used
Figure 23 on page 37 shows the orientation of these components.
