Network management and service laptop Ethernet (RJ-45) ports
WARNING
The SP Ethernet (RJ-45) ports are LAN ports not WAN ports. LAN ports contain
safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits, and WAN ports contain telephone-network
voltage (TNV) circuits. Some LAN and WAN ports both use RJ-45 connectors. Use
caution when connecting cables. To avoid electric shock, do not connect TNV circuits
to SELV circuits.
The block and File VNX5300 platform SP comes with two integrated dual-port
Ethernet ports (labeled with a network management symbol and a wrench symbol,
respectively). These ports provide an interface for connecting to the public LAN and
a service laptop computer, respectively. The ports are 8-pin MDI RJ-45 type ports for
either IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T (10 Mb/s), IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX (100 Mb/s), or
1000BASE-T (1000 Mb/s) Ethernet connections.
Figure 23 shows an example of the SP network management and service laptop
Ethernet (RJ-45) ports.

IMPORTANT
!
The ports shown in Figure 23 are LAN ports. A symbol depicting a telephone
handset with a line through it indicates that you should not connect WAN type
RJ-45 telephone connectors to these ports.
To access the Ethernet ports, connect a Category 3, 4, 5, 5E, or 6 unshielded
twisted-pair (UTP) cable to the RJ-45 connectors on the back of the SP, as described in
Table 16.
