I/O modules
Two-port 1-Gb/s copper plus two-port 1-Gb/s optical I/O module LEDs
The two-port 1-Gb/s copper plus two-port 1-Gb/s optical I/O module has three types of
status LEDs. Figure 57 shows the LEDs and Table 36 describes them.

Two-port 10-Gb/s optical I/O module
The two-port 10-Gb/s optical or active Twinax
1
I/O module (labeled 10 GbE v2 on the
latch handle) comes with two optical ports, one power/fault LED, and a link and activity
LED for each port (Figure 58 on page 65). The optical ports on this I/O module can
interface at speeds of 10 Gb/s. The two-port 10-Gb/s optical I/O module uses the SFP+
transceiver module. For information about SFP+ modules, see the sentences describing
the SFP+ in the “Four-port 8-Gb/s FC I/O module” section on page 47. The two-port
10-Gb/s optical I/O module uses the SFP+ transceiver module, hence the required SFP+
transceiver module uses a different part number (for part number label location, see the
VNX5500 Parts Location Guide ).

1. The two-port 10-Gb/s I/O module can also use active twinaxial (Twinax) cables. Twinax is a type of
cable similar to coax, but with two inner conductors instead of one. These cables will be supplied
in lieu of the SFP+ transceiver module when so ordered.
