The following I/O module types are supported by the Block and File (Unified) VNX5700
platform SP:
◆ “Four-port 8-Gb/s FC I/O module” on this page
◆ “Four-port 1-Gb/s copper iSCSI I/O module” on page 48

module” on page 53
Four-port 8-Gb/s FC I/O module
The four-port 8-Gb/s FC I/O module comes with four optical (fibre) ports, one power/fault
LED, and a link/activity LED for each optical port (Figure 37). This I/O module can interface
at speeds of 2, 4, and 8 Gb/s.
Figure 37 Four-port 8-Gb/s FC I/O module
The four-port 8-Gb/s FC I/O module uses SFP+ transceiver modules to connect to LC-type
optical fibre cables (see following note). These SFP+ transceiver modules are input/output
(I/O) devices that plug into the FC port of the FC I/O modules. These SFP+ modules are hot
swappable

. This means that you can install and remove an SFP+ module while the Block
and File (Unified) VNX5700 platform is operating.
