VNX5100 Block product description
EMC VNX5300 Hardware Information Guide 9
• On the front of the DPE, three types of disk drives are supported in two disk drive
carrier types; 3U, 15 (3.5-inch) disk drive carrier (Figure 4 on page 12) and 3U, 25
(2.5-inch) disk drive carrier (Figure 5 on page 13). The disk drives supported are
Serial attached-SCSI (SAS), near-line SAS (NL-SAS), and Flash.
• On the rear of the DPE, each (hot-swappable) storage processor (Figure 3 on
page 7) consists of:
– A CPU module with an Intel Xeon 2-core 2.0-GHz processor with three Double
Data Rate Three (DDR3) synchronous dynamic RAM (SDRAM) slots supporting
2-GB SDRAM
– Four integrated 8-Gb/s FC ports (labeled 2, 3, 4, and 5) supporting 2, 4, and 8
Gb/s having front end auto-negotiation with support for manual override
– Two integrated 6-Gb/s SAS x4 ports (labeled 0 x4 and 1 x4); supported speeds
are 1.5, 3, and 6 Gb/s
– Two PCI Gen 2 x4 I/O module slots (not supported and covered with filler panel
modules)
– One RS-232/EIA 232 serial (up to 115 K baud) service laptop (micro DB-9) port
– One RS-232/EIA 232 serial SPS management (micro DB-9) port
– One 10/100/1000 LAN network management (RJ-45) port
– One 10/100/1000 LAN service (RJ-45) port
– One power supply (hot-swappable)
◆ One 1U standby power supply (SPS) with a second optional SPS available
◆ Expansion of up to four 3U, 15 (3.5-inch) DAEs or up to two 2U, 25 (2.5-inch) DAEs (a
maximum of 75 drives)
When calculating the number of disk drives for your VNX5100 platform, the DPE is
included in the total drive slot quantity of 75 drives. If the total drive slot quantity exceeds
75, you will not be able to add another DAE. Refer to “Disk-array enclosure” on page 31 for
more information about the available expansion DAEs for the VNX5100 platform.
◆ Any required cables including LAN cables, modem cables, and serial DB-9 cable.
◆ Mounting rails with hardware
◆ Front bezel with VNX5100 badge
