EMC® VNX5300™ Hardware Information Guide
describes the SPS LEDs.
SPS RJ-12 connector
shows the SPS (RJ-12 or modular jack) management port (labeled with two
symbols; one depicting a telephone handset with a line through it and the other
depicting a rectangle with a line through it). Both symbols mean that you cannot
connect telephone type circuits to this connector (see the following
WARNING
). This
port connects the SPS (A and B) ports to the SP (A and B) ports, respectively.
WARNING
The SPS (RJ-12) port is a LAN port not a WAN port. LAN ports contain safety
extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits, and WAN ports contain telephone-network
voltage (TNV) circuits. An RJ-45 (or TNV-type) looks the same as the RJ-12 except for
two very important differences. An RJ-45 is an 8-wire modular jack. The RJ-12 is a
six-wire modular jack. The RJ-45 plugs and jacks are wider than their RJ-12
counterparts - 7/16"vs 3/8". An RJ-45 plug won't fit into an R-J12 jack. But an RJ-12
plug will fit into an RJ-45 jack. Use caution when connecting cables. To avoid
electric shock, do not attempt to connect TNV circuits to SELV circuits.

SPS power
Green
On
SPS ready and operating normally; battery fully charged
Blinking

—
Off
Off/disconnected
SPS battery
Amber
On
AC line power is no longer available and the SPS is
supplying DC output power from the battery.
Note:
When battery power comes on, and no other online
SPS is connected to the SP, the file server writes all cached
data to disk, and the event log records the event.
SPS no battery
Amber
On
SPS battery is not fully charged and may not be able to
serve its cache flushing function. With the battery in this
state, and no other online SPS connected to the SP, the
system disables write caching, and writes any modified
pages to the disk first. Replace the SPS as soon as
possible.
SPS fault
Amber
On
The SPS has an internal fault. The SPS may still be able to
run online, but write caching cannot occur. Replace the SPS
as soon as possible.
