I/O modules

EMC VNX5400 Hardware Information Guide 47

I/O module slots

Slots A4 and B4 in the DPE storage processors contain a Fibre Channel (FC) I/O module for

Data Mover Fibre Channel connections. Slot A0 is not supported. The other available slots

can contain any type of I/O module that is supported for the VNX5400 platform, within the

supported I/O module limits. For more information, refer to the

Adding Storage Processor

I/O modules and SFPs to the DPE

document for the correct procedures to add an I/O

module. This procedure is available online at https://mydocs.emc.com/VNX/ and go to

VNX tasks, then select Add VNX hardware. Next, follow the steps in the wizard.

The following I/O modules are supported:

◆ “Four-port 8-Gb/s FC I/O module” on this page

◆ “Four-port 16-Gb/s FC I/O module”

◆ “Four-port 1-Gb/s copper iSCSI I/O module” on page 52

◆ “Two-port 10-Gb/s optical or active Twinax Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) I/O

module” on page 54

◆ “Two-port 10-Gb/s RJ-45 Base-T iSCSI/IP I/O module” on page 56

Note: This I/O module is not supported when the VNX5400 storage system is using

the low powered (100-240 V) power supply (see “Storage processor power supply

module” on page 31 and the

VNX5400 Parts Location Guide

for more information).

◆ “Two-port 10-Gb/s optical I/O module” on page 58

Four-port 8-Gb/s FC I/O module

The four-port 8-Gb/s FC I/O module (labeled 8 GbE Fibre on the latch handle) comes with

four optical (fibre) ports, one power/fault LED, and a link/activity LED for each optical port

(Figure 32 on page 48). This I/O module can interface at speeds of 2, 4, and 8 Gb/s.
