VNX5700 Block and File product description
VNX5700 Hardware Information Guide 13
Configured for AC-input power, the Block and File (Unified) VNX5700 platform includes the
following hardware features:
◆ One dual 1U standby power supply (SPS)
◆ One SPE:
• On the front of the SPE, two power supply/cooling (fan) modules and one CPU
module per SP are supported.
– A CPU module with an Intel Xeon 4-core 2.4-GHz processor with six Double Data
Rate Three (DDR3) synchronous dynamic RAM (SDRAM) slots supporting 2, 4,
or 8-GB SDRAM
• On the rear of the SPE, each storage processor (Figure 3 on page 9) consists of:
– One management module
– Five PCI Gen 2 x4 I/O module slots supporting a combination of the following
five UltraFlex
™
I/O modules:
Four-port 6-Gb/s SAS (slot 0 only)
Two-port 10-Gb/s optical or active Twinax
4
(iSCSI protocol)
Two-port 10-Gb/s optical or active Twinax Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)
Four-port 1-Gb/s copper iSCSI
Four-port 8-Gb/s optical Fibre Channel (running at 2, 4, or 8-Gb/s)
◆ One to two Data Mover enclosures with first Data Mover enclosure having two Data
Movers and the second having from one to two Data Movers

1. Does not include DAEs.
2. MPFS = Multi-Path File System
3. pNFS = parallel-NFS
4. The two-port 10-Gb/s and FCoE I/O modules 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+ when so ordered.
5. A VNX5700 Block and File (Unified) platform can only have 2, 3, or 4 Data Movers.
