Connecting a
VNX5300 or
VNX5500 array
Use Figure 46 to connect the Fibre Channel cables from the I/O modules in the blades
to the array SPs. Use SFPs to connect the ports (see “SFP modules” on page 43):
1. Connect blade 2, slot 0, port 0 to SP A, port 5 (cable 1 in Figure 46).
2. Connect blade 2, slot 0, port 1 to SP B, port 5 (cable 2 in Figure 46).
3. For the two-blade VG2, connect blade 3, slot 0, port 0 to SP A, port 4 (cable 3 in
Figure 46).
4. For the two-blade VG2, connect blade 3, slot 0, port 1 to SP B, port 4 (cable 4 in
Figure 46).
Figure 46 FC cables connect VG2 blades to VNX5300/VNX5500 array (example)
