Control Station Ethernet (RJ-45) port LEDs
The 1U Control Station (RJ-45) NICs include 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 1U Control Station (RJ-45) NIC ports, respectively
(Figure 32).
Table 23 describes the link/activity and connection speed associated with the 1U Control
Station (RJ-45) port LEDs.

Ethernet cable extensions for the Control Station B and MGMT ports
Each Block and File (Unified) VNX5500 platform 1U Control Station comes with two
modular Ethernet cable extensions (or patch cords) for the RJ-45 ports (labeled on the 1U
Control Station as B and MGMT, respectively). These cables allow you to extend the length
of the Ethernet cables from the CS 0, port B to Data Mover enclosure 0, management
module B, port 1 and CS 0, MGMT port to the public LAN. Each cable includes a
corresponding label clip to assist you during system cabling (Figure 33 on page 42).
