EMC VNXe3100 Hardware Information Guide

Overview

describes the DAE and the 3.5-inch disk drive status LEDs

Rear view

On the rear, viewing from top to bottom, a 2U, 12 (3.5-inch) DAE includes the following
hardware components (

Figure 25 on page 41

◆

Two power supply/cooling modules

◆

Two 6-Gb/s SAS LCCs (A and B)

6-Gb/s SAS LCC

The LCC supports and controls one 6-Gb/s SAS bus and monitors the DAE. A blue link
(active) LED indicates a DAE operating at 6 Gb/s.

The LCCs in a DAE connect to the DPE and other DAEs with 6-Gb/s SAS cables. The cables
connect the LCCs in the system in a daisy-chain topology.

Internally, each DAE LCC connects to the drives in its enclosure in a point-to-point fashion
through a switch. The LCC independently receives and electrically terminates incoming
signals. For traffic from the system’s storage processors, the LCC switch passes the signal
from the input port to the drive being accessed; the switch then forwards the drive output
signal to the port.

Note: If the target drive is not in the LCC’s enclosure, the switch passes the input signal
directly to the output port.
