EMC® VNX5300™ Hardware Information Guide
describes the link/activity and connection speed associated with the SP
Ethernet (RJ-45) port LEDs.
Serial RS-232/EIA 232 (micro DB-9) socket connector
The back of the Block and File VNX5300 platform SP includes a standard serial
Electronics Industries Association (EIA) RS-232 interface (micro DB-9) connector
(labeled with a symbol depicting a wrench on the upper left) to connect to a PC or
service laptop computer. This serial connector (port) allows you to access the SP
locally by connecting a terminal—either a PC running terminal-emulation software
or an ASCII terminal—to the port.
Notice the orientation of the pins shown in

Serial RS-232/EIA 232 (micro DB-9) connector (socket) for service laptop
lists the SP serial RS-232/EIA 232 (micro DB-9) pin signals used on the
connector.
