Data Mover I/O module types
The following I/O module types are supported by the Block and File (Unified) VNX5700
platform Data Mover:
◆ “Four-port 8-Gb/s FC I/O module” on this page
◆ “Four-port 1-Gb/s copper I/O module” on page 57
◆ “Two-port 1-Gb/s copper plus two-port 1-Gb/s optical I/O module” on page 59
◆ “Two-port 10-Gb/s optical or active Twinax I/O module” on page 61
Note: For SP module types, go to “SP I/O module types” on page 46.
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 47). This I/O module can interface
at speeds of 2, 4, and 8 Gb/s.
Figure 47 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 the 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.
