Control Station Input/output ports and connectors
The Block and File (Unified) VNX5700 platform Control Station supports the following I/O
ports on the rear of the Control Station:
◆ Four Ethernet (RJ-45) ports
◆ One serial modem (DB-9) plug connector
◆ One serial console (DB-9) plug connector
To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to
telephone-network voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN ports
contain TNV circuits. Some LAN and WAN ports both use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution
when connecting cables.
