shows an example of the 0 x4 SP 6-Gb/s SAS
port LED—a bi-color (blue/green) LED to the right of the connector—that indicates
the link/activity of the SAS port.

8-Gb/s FC ports
The Block and File VNX5300 platform SP comes with four optical (fibre) 8-Gb/s Fibre
Channel (FC) ports (labeled 8GB fibre 2, 3, 4, and 5) on the rear of each SP (A and B).
These ports provide an optical interface for connecting to the front end. These ports
support 2-, 4-, and 8-Gb/s Fibre Channels using a small form-factor pluggable (SFP+)
transceiver module. The SFP+ transceiver modules connect to Lucent Connector (LC)
type optical fibre cables. These SFP+ transceiver modules are input/output (I/O)
devices. These SFP+ modules are hot swappable. This means that you can install and
remove an SFP+ module while the SP is operating.
