VNX5700 DAE cabling
Note: If your VNX series platform was assembled at the factory, all the cable labels have
been affixed to the cables except for any DAEs you have ordered. Additionally, if your VNX
series platform was not assembled at the factory, the cable kit supplied with your product
will have all the required cables already labeled except for the DAEs.

VNX5700 DAE cabling
Shown in the upcoming figures (Figure 86 on page 98, Figure 87 on page 100, and
Figure 88 on page 103) are graphical representations of SAS cabling in an SPE-based VNX
storage platform, the VNX5700 Block. The Storage Processors connect to the DAEs with
SAS cables. The cables connect the LCCs in the DAEs of a storage platform in a daisy-chain
topology.
The following sections only discuss the DAE cabling of the VNX5700 platform with either
the 3U, 15 disk drive DAE or the 2U, 25 disk drive DAE. The 4U, 60 disk drive DAE is not
discussed.
The VNX5700 platform supports two types of DAEs; a 15 drive 3.5-inch disk 3U enclosure
and a 25 drive 2.5-inch disk 2U enclosure. Expansion of up to thirty-three 3U DAEs (a
maximum of 495 3.5-inch disk drives) or up to twenty 2U DAEs (a maximum of 500
2.5-inch disk drives).
