12 VNX5700 Hardware Information Guide
VNX5700 Block and File product description
Note: Figure 5 on page 11 shows the storage processor enclosure, with the first FC I/O
module located in slot 4 and the second FC located in slot 3. As a rule, the second FC is in
slot 3 when the storage processor is assembled at the factory. However, if your Block and
File (Unified) VNX5700 platform did not come from the factory this way, you can install the
FC I/O module in slots 1, 2, or 3.
Note: The configuration in Figure 5 on page 11 is primarily used with the combination of
4U and 3U DAEs when the 4U DAE is the Vault drive in a 40U Dense rack. The configuration
in Figure 2 on page 8 is primarily used with 3U or 2U DAEs.

. With the SPE or Data Mover enclosure having the
deepest dimension within the cabinet, the VNX5700 measures 10.5 to 14.75 inches high
(6 to 9U) x 18.92 inches wide x 24.25 inches deep (26.67 to 37.46 cm x 48.05 cm x 61.59
cm). Between the front and rear enclosure, a midplane distributes power and signals to all
the enclosure components. The CPU modules and the power supply/cooling (fan)
modules plug directly into the midplane connections.
Note: The previously mentioned dimensions are approximate and do not include the
cabinet enclosure and any DAEs.
