VNX VG2 overview
Contained in a standard 19-inch (48.3 cm) NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers
Association) rackmount cabinet, the VNX VG2 gateway weighs from 74.91 lb (33.7 kg) to
102.91 lb (46.3 kg) depending on how many 1U Control Stations and I/O modules are
installed in the cabinet. With the 2U Data Mover enclosure having the widest and deepest
dimension within the cabinet, the VNX VG2 measures from 5.25 to 7 inches high (3 to 4U)
x 18.92 inches wide x 31.58 inches deep (13.33 to 17.78 cm x 48.06 cm x 80.21 cm). For
exact details, refer to the
VG2 and VG8 Technical Specifications and Operating Limits
document.
Note: The previous dimensions are approximate and do not include the cabinet enclosure.
shows an example of the front view of a VNX VG2 gateway with one 1U Control
Station and a 2U Data Mover enclosure (with two Data Movers per enclosure). Each Data
Mover includes two power supply/cooling (fan) modules and one CPU module.
Note: Each CPU module is located below two power supply/cooling (fan) modules, as
shown in
. The CPU module includes its own left and right latch
handles. These CPU modules can only be installed or removed after you remove the power
supply/cooling (fan) module.
Figure 1 VNX VG2 gateway components front view (without front bezel)
shows an example of the rear view of the VNX VG2 gateway with one 1U
Control Station and a 2U Data Mover enclosure with two Data Movers [each Data Mover
having one management module, one four-port 8-Gb/s FC I/O module, three two-port
1-Gb/s copper plus two-port 1-Gb/s optical I/O modules, and one filler module].
Note: For information about connecting the four-port 8-Gb/s FC I/O module to a Tape
Backup, refer to the chapter describing the “Optional tape backup device cables” in the
