I/O modules
There are several types of I/O modules supported in the Block and File VNX5300
platform. The SP supports four types of I/O modules (see “SP I/O module types”)
and the Data Mover supports four types (see “Data Mover I/O module types” on
page 49). In this section, each I/O module description includes the type of port
(copper or optical) as well as a description of the LEDs.
SP I/O module types
The following I/O module types are supported by the Block and File VNX5300
platform SP:
◆ “Four-port 8-Gb/s FC I/O module” on this page
◆ “Four-port 1-Gb/s copper iSCSI I/O module” on page 43
◆ “Two-port 10-Gb/s optical or active Twinax iSCSI I/O module” on page 45
◆ “Two-port 10-Gb/s optical or active Twinax Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)
I/O module” on page 47
Four-port 8-Gb/s FC I/O module
The four-port 8-Gb/s FC I/O module comes with four optical (fibre) ports, one
power/fault LED, and a link/activity LED for each optical port, as shown in
Figure 40. This I/O module can interface at speeds of 2, 4, and 8 Gb/s.
Figure 40 Four-port 8-Gb/s FC I/O module
The four-port 8-Gb/s FC I/O module uses SFP+ transceiver modules to connect to
LC-type optical fibre cables. These SFP+ transceiver modules are input/output (I/O)
devices that plug into the FC port of the FC I/O modules. These SFP+ modules are
hot swappable

. This means that you can install and remove an SFP+ module while
the Block and File VNX5300 platform is operating.
