is for an I/O slot in SP A and the other module in the pair is for the corresponding I/O
slot in SP B.
When adding a four-port, 6-Gbps SAS I/O module to the storage processors, when
supported, refer to the hardware overview guide for your system, located at

This procedure involves SP reboots coordinated to ensure that at least one SP is running
at all times. During an SP reboot, data is unavailable to the front-end or back-end
connections that are not duplicated on the peer SP.
For additional details on the locations of orderable parts, and their part number labels,
refer to the parts location guide for your specific VNX model. EMC posts and maintains
parts location guides online on the Related Documents section of https://
