System component description
This section provides the exact details of the Block and File (Unified) VNX5700 platform
components. These details include illustrations and descriptions of the front and rear
connectors and LED indicators.
Note: In the following sections, the illustrations and corresponding tables describe these
individual components. These descriptions are for illustrative purposes only.
VNX5700 front view
As previously described, the Block and File (Unified) VNX5700 platform is made up of an
SPE, one 1U dual SPS or one 2U dual SPS
10
, one to two Control Stations, and one to two
DMEs with two, three, or four Data Movers. The following sections will describe the front
view (Figure 2 on page 8) of the Block and File (Unified) VNX5700 platform components
separately.
SPE front view
The front of the Block and File (Unified) VNX5700 platform SPE contains two enclosure
status (power and fault) LEDs (Figure 6). Table 3 on page 18 describes the SPE power and
fault LEDs.
Note: Figure 6 is a graphical representation of the Block and File (Unified) VNX5700
platform SPE with four power supply/cooling (fan) modules and two CPU modules
installed.
