Cabling overview
This section describes the types of cabling you will need to connect the DAEs to your VNX
series platform. The descriptions are presented in illustrations and text. Each illustration
shows an example of the cable connection points (ports) located on the specific hardware
components for the VNX5100 platform.
For all other cabling of your VNX5100 platform, the
VNX5100 Installation Guide
provides
information about
the SPS power cabling, DPE power cabling, DAE power cabling, PDU
power cabling, LAN cabling, and so on.
Cable label wraps
Each VNX series platform comes with a cable label wrap guide or set of cable label wraps
to affix to the cables on your VNX series platform. These labels should be affixed to the
appropriate cables as you connect the cables to your VNX series platform. Figure 39 shows
an example of the cable wrap guide and how to affix the cable label wrap to a cable.
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.
