SP Input/output ports and connectors
The Block and File VNX5300 platform SP supports the following I/O ports on the
rear:
◆ Two 6-Gb/s SAS PCI Gen 2 x4 ports (labeled 6Gb SAS 0 x4 and 1 x4); supported
speeds are 1.5, 3, and 6 Gb/s
◆ Four 8-Gb/s Fibre Channel (FC) ports (for front-end connectivity)
◆ One Ethernet (RJ-45) 10/100/1000 LAN (management) port
◆ One Ethernet (RJ-45) 10/100/1000 LAN (service laptop) port
◆ One RS-232/EIA 232 (micro DB-9) SPS connector
◆ One RS-232/EIA 232 (micro DB-9) service laptop connector
6-Gb/s SAS x4 ports — The Block and File VNX5300 platform SP supports two
6-Gb/s SAS x4 ports (labeled 6GB 0 x4 and 6GB 1 x4) on the rear of each SP (A and B).
These ports provide an interface for SAS and NL-SAS drives on the DAE. This port is
a 26-circuit SAS small form-factor 8088 (SFF-8088) specification (socket or receptacle)
using an SFF-8088 specification mini-SAS HD 26-circuit cable (plug) with a pull tab.
Note: Each SAS cable is keyed with an in and out connection to prevent incorrect cabling.
Figure 18 shows an example of the port connector (socket) and cable connector (plug)
with pull tab.
