19、Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) protocols. The VNX series is based on Intel Xeon-based PCI Express 2.0 processors and delivers File (NAS) functionality via two to eight Data Movers and Block (iSCSI, FCoE, and FC) storage via dual storage processors using a full 6-Gb/s SAS disk drive topology. The VNX S
20、eries is targeted at the entry-level to high-end/large-capacity storage environments that require advanced features, flexibility and configurability. The VNX Series provides significant advancements in efficiency, simplicity, and performance. Benefits include: Support for File (CIFS and NFS), Block
21、(FC, iSCSI 3U, 15 (3.5-inch) disk drive carrier (Figure 4 on page 11) and 3U, 25 (2.5-inch) disk drive carrier (Figure 5 on page 12). The disk drives supported are Serial attached-SCSI (SAS), near-line SAS (NL-SAS), and Flash. On the rear of the 3U DPE, each (hot-swappable) storage processor (Figure
22、 3 on page 6) 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 of 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-negot
23、iation with support for manual override Note: All four ports are available for use, however only ports 2 and 3 are factory installed with SFP+ transceiver modules. Ports 4 and 5 are covered with plastic dust covers. To purchase additional SFP+ transceiver modules for ports 4 and 5, contact your loca

Included in this section are illustrations and descriptions of the front and rear connectors as well as the LE
30、D indicators. Note: In the following sections, the illustrations and corresponding tables describe these individual components. These descriptions are for illustrative purposes only. VNX5100 front view As previously described, the Block VNX5100 platform is made up of a 3U DPE and a 1U SPS. The follo
31、wing sections describes the front view (Figure 2 on page 5) of the VNX5100 platform components. DPE front view The Block VNX5100 platform can have one of two versions of the 3U disk drive DPE. IMPORTANT When calculating the number of drives for your VNX5100 platform, the DPE is included in the total
32、 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 the “Disk-array enclosure” section on page 30 for more information about the available expansion DAEs for the VNX5100 platform. Each Block VNX5100 platform DPE comprises
33、the following components: Drive carrier Disk drives Midplane Storage processor (SP) CPU Storage processor (SP) power supply EMI shielding Drive carrier The disk drive carriers are metal and plastic assemblies that provide smooth, reliable contact with the enclosure slot guides and midplane connector
34、s. Each carrier has a handle with a latch and spring clips. The latch holds the disk drive in place to ensure proper connection with the midplane. Disk drive activity/fault LEDs are integrated into the carrier. The “3U, 15 (3.5-inch) DPE” section on page 11 or the “3U, 25 (2.5-inch) DPE” section on
35、page 12 provides more information.10 EMC VNX5100 Hardware Information Guide System component description Disk drives Each disk drive consists of one disk drive in a carrier. You can visually distinguish between disk drive types by their different latch and handle mechanisms and by type, capacity, an
36、d speed labels on each disk drive. You can add or remove a disk drive while the 3U DPE is powered up, but you should exercise special care when removing modules while they are in use. Disk drives are extremely sensitive electronic components. Midplane A midplane separates the front-facing disk drive
37、s from the rear-facing SPs. It distributes power and signals to all components in the enclosure. SPs and disk drives plug directly into the midplane. Storage processor (SP) CPU The SP CPU is the intelligent component of the 3U disk processor enclosure (DPE). Acting as the control center, each SP CPU
38、 includes status LEDs, PCI Gen 2 x2 I/O module slots, and LAN ports. The “DPE” section on page 14 provides more information. Storage processor (SP) power supply The SP power supply is located on the top, left side of the SP when viewed from the rear. This module is an auto-ranging, power-factor-corr
39、ected, multi-output, off-line converter with its own line cord. Each power supply includes status LEDs. A latch on the power supply locks it into place to ensure proper connection. The “SP AC power supply module” section on page 16 provides more information. EMI shielding EMI compliance requires a p
40、roperly installed electromagnetic interference (EMI) shield in front of the DPE disk drives. When installed in cabinets that include a front door, the DPE includes a simple EMI shield. Other installations require a front bezel that has a locking latch and integrated EMI shield. You must remove the bezel/shield to remove and install disk drives.
