Network management and service laptop Ethernet (RJ-45) port LEDs — Figure 25 shows
the SP Ethernet (RJ-45) port LEDs—a green LED to the left of the connector and a bi-color
(green/amber) LED to the right of the connector—that indicate the link/activity and speed
of the Ethernet ports, respectively.
Figure 25 SP Ethernet (RJ-45) port LEDs
Table 18 describes the link/activity and connection speed associated with the SP
Ethernet (RJ-45) port LEDs.
SP serial RS-232/EIA 232 (micro DB-9) socket connector
The back of the Block and File (Unified) VNX5500 platform SP CPU module includes a
standard serial Electronics Industries Association (EIA) RS-232 interface (micro DB-9)
connector (labeled with a symbol depicting a wrench on the upper left) to connect to a PC
or service laptop computer. This serial connector (port) allows you to access the SP locally
by connecting a terminal—either a PC running terminal-emulation software or an ASCII
terminal—to the port.
Notice the orientation of the pins shown in Figure 26.
