(FCoE)
Note: The maximum number of I/O modules for the VNX5300 is three per Data Mover 
and any combination of these I/O modules must be the same for each Data Mover. 
• Two management modules per DME (or, one per Data Mover)
• Two power supply/cooling (fan) modules per CPU module
◆ One or two Control Stations. Each Control Station consists of the following 
features:
• Intel 2.0 GHz single core Celeron processor with 800-MHz front side bus (FSB) 
and 512 KB cache
•2 GB of RAM
• One 250 GB SATA hard drive
• Two rear-mounted USB ports and one front-mounted USB port
• Four 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T network interface (RJ-45) 
connectors (located on the rear panel)
• Two integrated serial ports, one for laptop/console redirection and one for the 
CallHome modem
• One DVD-ROM drive
◆ Expansion of up to seven 3U, 15 (3.5-inch) DAEs (a maximum of 120 drives) or up 
to four 2U, 25 (2.5-inch) DAEs (a maximum of 125 drives)
