Control Station Input/output ports and connectors
The VNX VG2/VG8 1U Control Station supports the following I/O ports on the rear of the
Control Station:
◆
Four Ethernet (RJ-45) NIC ports
◆
One serial modem (DB-9) plug connector
◆
One serial console (DB-9) plug connector
To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to
telephone-network voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN ports
contain TNV circuits. Some LAN and WAN ports both use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution
when connecting cables.
Control Station Ethernet (RJ-45) NIC ports
The VNX VG2/VG8 1U Control Station comes with two integrated dual-port Ethernet ports
(labeled A and CS) and two Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCI-e) low profile
card dual-port Ethernet ports (labeled B and MGMT) in an expansion slot on the rear of the
Control Station. These ports provide an interface for connecting to 10-Mb/s, 100-Mb/s, or
