EMC® VNX5300™ Hardware Information Guide
For physical, environmental, and power details, refer to “Specifications” on page 73 .
Configured for AC-input power, the Block and File VNX5300 platform includes the
following hardware features:
◆
One DPE:
IMPORTANT
!
On the rear of the DPE, each storage processor includes a CPU module and a power
supply. Two latch handles on the bottom left and right provide each SP (SP A and
SP B) with the means to secure the SP. The CPU and power supply modules can
only be installed or removed after you remove the entire storage processor from
the DPE.
• On the front of the DPE, two types of disk drives are supported in two disk
drive carrier types; 3U, 15 (3.5-inch) disk drive carrier ( Figure 4 on page 11 ) or
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
or Enterprise SSD.
• On the rear of the DPE, each (hot-swappable) storage processor ( Figure 11 on
page 18 ) consists of:
– A CPU module with an Intel Xeon 4-core 1.66-GHz processor with three
Double Data Rate Three (DDR3) synchronous dynamic RAM (SDRAM)
slots supporting 4-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 four lane 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 supporting a combination of the
following UltraFlex
™
I/O modules:
Two-port 10-Gb/s optical or active Twinax

4. The two-port 10-Gb/s and FCoE I/O modules can also use active twinaxial (Twinax) cables.
Twinax is a type of cable similar to coax, but with two inner conductors instead of one. These
cables will be supplied in lieu of SFP+ when so ordered.
