Control Station Ethernet (RJ-45) port LEDs
The Control Station (RJ-45) include LEDs—a green LED to the left of the connector and a
bi-color (green/amber) LED to the right of the connector—that indicate the link/activity
and speed of the Control Station (RJ-45) ports, respectively (Figure 33).
Figure 33 Control Station Ethernet (RJ-45) port LEDs
Table 21 describes the link/activity and connection speed associated with the Control
Station (RJ-45) port LEDs.
Ethernet cable extensions for the Control Station B and MGMT ports
Each Block and File (Unified) VNX5700 platform Control Station comes with two modular
Ethernet cable extensions (or patch cords) for the RJ-45 ports (labeled on the CS as B and
MGMT, respectively). These cables allow you to extend the length of the Ethernet cables
from the CS 0, port B to Data Mover enclosure 0, management module B, port 1 and CS 0,
MGMT port to the public LAN.
If your Block and File (Unified) VNX5700 platform includes a second optional Control
Station (CS 1), another set of Ethernet cable extensions for the RJ-45 ports is provided.
These cables allow you to extend the length of the Ethernet cables from the CS 1, port B to
Data Mover enclosure 0, management module B, port 2 and CS 1, MGMT port to the public
LAN. Each cable includes a corresponding label clip to assist you during system cabling.
