document.
Configured for AC-input power, the Block and File VNX5700 platform includes the
following hardware features:
◆ One dual 2U standby power supply (SPS)
7
◆ 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
8
(iSCSI protocol)
Two-port 10-Gb/s optical or active Twinax Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)

1. Does not include DAEs.
2. MPFS = Multi-Path File System
3. pNFS = parallel-NFS
7. A dual 2U SPS is used when the 4U DAE with Flash drives is used in a Vault drive configuration in
na 40U Dense rack. Otherwise, the dual 1U SPS is used with the 3U DAE as the Vault drive.
8. 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.
