Overview
SP 6-Gb/s SAS port LEDs —
shows an example of the SP 6-Gb/s SAS ports
(labeled 6-Gb SAS 0 x4 and 1 x4) LEDs (blue) below the bottom connector. These LEDs
indicate the link/activity of the 0 x4 and 1 x4 6-Gb/s SAS ports.
Note: The 6GB SAS port 1 x4 is not used at this time.

Note: Each SAS port is keyed with an
out
(or two black diamonds,
) connection to
prevent incorrect cabling. For information about the SAS cable, see the note under
describes the 6-Gb/s SAS port LEDs.
Four-port 1-Gb/s copper Ethernet I/O personality module —
shows
the VNXe3100 platform SP optional four-port 1-Gb/s copper Ethernet (RJ-45) personality
module. These ports are labeled e0, e1, e2, and e3 and are used for front-end
connectivity. These ports support speeds of 10-, 100-, and 1000-Mb/s Ethernet
transmission rates over copper wiring.
The four-port 1-Gb/s copper Ethernet (RJ-45) ports on the four-port 1-Gb/s Ethernet I/O
personality module are LAN ports not WAN ports. LAN ports contain safety extra-low
voltage (SELV) circuits, and WAN ports contain telephone-network voltage (TNV) circuits.
Some LAN and WAN ports both use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting
cables. To avoid electric shock, do not connect TNV circuits to SELV circuits.
