VNX5200 Parts Location Guide
VNX5200 Parts Location Guide
VNX5200™
This guide is a parts location guide for the EMC® VNX5200™ platform and provides
illustrations of where the part number labels of orderable parts for the VNX5200 platform
are located. Included in this parts location guide are also tables providing example part
numbers of components and how these components are identified as either customer
replaceable units (CRUs) or field replaceable units (FRUs).
Several of the part number labels are located in areas within the storage system that are
inaccessible without removing some of the VNX5200 platform components. Throughout
this guide, are references to separate FRU or CRU procedures you should follow before
attempting to access any of these VNX5200 platform components.

Safety warnings
Safety warnings appear throughout this publication in procedures that, if performed
incorrectly, might harm you or damage the equipment. A caution or warning symbol
precedes each safety statement. The safety warnings provide safety guidelines that you
should follow when working with any equipment that connects to electrical power or
telephone wiring.
IMPORTANT
The portable (mechanical) lift tool described in “Appendix A: Field lift tool and accessory
kit” on page 55 is recommended as a safety precaution when lifting EMC components into
an EMC or customer-provided rack. As described in the appendix, many of the EMC
components are too heavy to be lifted by one person or in some cases by two persons. As
a result, this portable (mechanical) lift tool is a necessary safety requirement, especially
when lifting EMC components like the 3U, 120 and the 4U, 60 DAEs.

SP power supply
Do not remove the SP power supply module while the SP is plugged in. Power supply
module removal for more than a few minutes can cause the SP to shut down due to lack of
cooling. Refer to the Replacing a Storage Processor Power Supply (PS) procedure for the
correct steps to take before and during the removal of an SP power supply module
assembly from the base module enclosure in a DPE available online at
https://mydocs.emc.com/VNX/.
IMPORTANT
For VNX5200 systems with the 200-240 V AC power supply (models
VNX52DPxxx/VNXB52DPxxx), at least two 200-240 V AC circuits are required for higher
availability. For VNX systems with the 100-240 V AC power supply (model VNX52VPxxx), at
least two 100-240 V AC circuits are required for higher availability. For full power
specifications, go to https://mydocs.emc.com and select View technical specifications
under the About VNX section.
For VNX models with the DC power supply, see the requirements in the DC-Powered VNX
Series Enclosures Installation and Operation Guide. For full power specifications, go to
https://mydocs.emc.com and select View technical specifications under the About VNX
section.
To view the SP power supply part number label, you must remove the module from the
base module. To do this, squeeze the orange tab on the module to the right while holding
the handle. Then, pull the handle towards you to slide the module out. The part number
label is located on the underside of the SP power supply (Figure 13 on page 18).
IMPORTANT
The power supply used in your VNX5200 storage system must meet the storage system
power requirements and must be the same type of power supply to be used in both SPs
(SP A and B). You cannot mix power supply types (see the example part numbers in
Table 9 on page 18). For example if you have part number 071-000-022-00 in SP A, the
same part number 071-000-022-00 must be in SP B.

I/O modules
Since several of the I/O modules can be used in both the SP in the 3U DPE and the Data
Mover in the 2U DME, sections have been created in this guide to describe the SP and the
Data Mover I/O modules separately.
I/O modules are not hot-swappable or hot-serviceable. Do not remove an I/O module
before reviewing the instructions described in the Replace an SP Ultraflex I/O module or
Replace a Data Mover (blade) Ultraflex I/O module procedure available online at

Do not remove an SFP or SFP+ module before reviewing the instructions described in the
Replace an SP SFP module or Replace a Data Mover (blade) SFP module procedure
available online at https://mydocs.emc.com/VNX/.
The File/Unified VNX5200 platform SFP or SFP+ modules are equipped with a Class 1
Laser, which emits invisible radiation. Do not stare into open optical ports. The following
warnings apply to all the SFP and SFP+ modules.
Class 1 laser product.
Because invisible laser radiation can be emitted from the aperture of the port when no
fiber is connected, avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not stare into open
apertures.
Laser radiation is present when the system is open and interlocks bypassed.
Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this
equipment.
◆ Do not remove and insert an SFP or SFP+ module more often than is necessary.
Repeated removals and insertions of an SFP or SFP+ module can shorten its useful
life.

Three types of SFP or SFP+ modules are used in the I/O modules of the File/Unified
VNX5200 platform. Figure 29 shows an example of an SFP or SFP+ with a part number
label.
2. The 10 Gb/s module (labeled 10 GbE v3) and the FCoE I/O module (labeled 10 GbE/FCoE) 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 SFPs when so ordered.
IMPORTANT
Ensure that you correctly match the SFP or SFP+ module type with the I/O module type.
Table 25 lists the part number label location, part number, description, and whether it is a
FRU or CRU.
DIMMs
The Storage Processor (SP) requires either 16 GB per SP or 32 per DPE or array and the
Data Mover requires 6 GB per Data Mover or 12 per DME.
SP DIMMs
The SP CPU uses SDRAM DIMMs3. Each SP uses four 4-GB unbuffered Double-Data-Rate 3
(DDR3) type memory for a total of 16 GB per SP CPU or 32 per DPE. Figure 30 on page 36
shows an example of the SP DIMM slot location.
Figure 33 on page 38 shows an example of the SP DIMM with a part number label.
Table 26 on page 39 lists the part number, description, and whether it is a FRU or CRU.
IMPORTANT
The DIMM part numbers are visible only when you remove the DIMM from the DIMM slot.
You must first take the SP CPU out of service, disconnect any SP cables including any
power cables, remove the SP CPU from the DPE, and then remove the SP CPU lid covering
the DIMMs. With the SP CPU laying on an antistatic mat or workbench, remove the DIMM
from the DIMM slot. Ensure that you only remove those DIMMs that you intend to replace.
For more information about removing and installing the DIMM or memory module, refer to
the EMC DPE9 Replacing a Memory Module procedure.
3. The term DIMM is used throughout this guide. The term DIMM is also referred to as a memory
module. These terms are interchangeable and basically mean the same thing.
The DIMM memory is not hot-swappable or hot-serviceable. Before removing or replacing
any DIMMs, you must follow the removing and installing the DIMM or memory module
procedure described in the EMC DPE9 Replacing a Memory Module procedure.
Note the orientation of the VNX5200 File/Unified platform SP DIMMs (see locations
DIMM 0 through DIMM 7 in Figure 30). A label on the rear, horizontal bar identifies the
location of the DIMM slots. The 4-GB DIMMs are placed in the following slots (DIMM 0,
DIMM 2, DIMM 5, and DIMM 7). DIMMs 1, 3, 4, and 6 are empty.

remove the Data Mover power supply/cooling module from the DME, then remove the
Data Mover CPU from the DME, then remove (Figures 18 and 19 on page 22). With the Data
Mover CPU laying on an antistatic mat, lift the DIMM cover up in the Data Mover CPU, and
then remove the DIMM from the DIMM slot. Ensure that you remove only those DIMMs that
you intend to replace. For more information about removing and installing the DIMM or
memory module, refer to the Replacing a memory module in a blade4 enclosure
procedure.
The DIMM memory is not hot-swappable. Before removing or replacing any DIMMs, you
must follow the removing and installing the DIMM or memory module procedure
described in the Replacing a memory module in a blade enclosure procedure.
Note the orientation of the VNX5200 File/Unified platform Data Mover DIMMs (see
locations DIMM 0, DIMM 1, DIMM 2, DIMM 3, DIMM 4, and DIMM 5 in Figure 34 on
page 40). A label on the DIMM cover also identifies the DIMM slots as DIMM 0, DIMM 1,
DIMM 2, DIMM 3, DIMM 4, and DIMM 5. In the VNX5200 File/Unified platform, the Data
Mover DIMMs are placed in slots 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
4. In this guide, blade and Data Mover are used interchangeably to represent the same thing.
IMPORTANT
Refer to the “Removing a memory module” section in the Replacing a memory module in a
blade enclosure procedure for correct memory module removal procedures.
To remove:
1. After removing the Data Mover CPU from the DME and placing it on an antistatic mat or
workbench, attach an ESD wristband to your wrist and the enclosure.
2. Lift the blue lid covering the DIMMs (Figure 34).
3. Push down on the socket ejectors on either side of the DIMM module to release the
module from the connector (Figure 34).
IMPORTANT
When removing or installing DIMMs, do not touch the gold connectors on the DIMMs.
4. Touching only the DIMM module outside edges, pull the module straight up and out of
the connector (Figure 34).

IMPORTANT
The 4U, 60 (2.5- or 3.5-inch) disk drive DAE is assembled and configured at the factory
before shipping. If replacing or adding a 4U, 60 (2.5- or 3.5-inch) disk drive DAE becomes
necessary, refer to the following CAUTION that discusses the mounting and servicing of
the 4U, 60, (2.5- or 3.5-inch) disk drive DAE in a 40U Dense rack.
Access to the internal components in a 4U, 60 DAE mounted 31U (4.5 feet or 1.38 meters)
or more above the floor requires special equipment and is restricted to authorized
service personnel only. Attempts to service disks, fans, or LCCs mounted 31U or higher
without appropriate tools and personnel might result in serious personal injury.
Note: If replacing or adding a 4U, 60 (2.5- or 3.5-inch) DAE becomes necessary, a portable
mechanical lift is recommended by EMC. The portable lift commonly used by EMC service
personnel is manufactured by Alum-A-Lift. Included with the lift is a lift kit which provides
instructions for using the portable lift. For more information, refer to “Appendix A: Field lift
tool and accessory kit” on page 55.
IMPORTANT
The portable (mechanical) lift commonly used by EMC service personnel has two
settings—one with a lower mast and one with both a lower and upper mast (dual mast).
The lower mast setting is rated for 400 lb (178.09 kg) and is for raising or lowering of
objects 28U (4.08 ft or 1.2 m) or less above the floor. The dual mast setting is rated well
under 200 lb (89 kg) and is for raising objects more than 28U (4.08 ft or 1.2 m) above the
floor. A conversion kit from Alum-A-Lift and a support table is available from the lift
provider for installations above 28U. This kit is rated for 225 lb (102 kg). For more
information, refer to “Appendix A: Field lift tool and accessory kit” on page 55.
The 4U, 60 (2.5- or 3.5-inch) DAE includes up to 60, 2.5- or 3.5-inch disk drives.
Supporting 6-Gb/s data transfer speeds, this DAE has the following hardware
components: three fans (or cooling modules), 60 disks (30 per side), two Link Control
Cards (LCCs), two Inter Connect Modules (ICMs), and two power supplies.
IMPORTANT
To accommodate the 4U, 60 DAE, a 40U Dense rack is required. The Dense rack is 44
inches (111.76 cm) deep. Because each DAE weighs 57.8 lb (26.28 kg) empty and 213 lb
(96.62 kg) fully loaded, a DAE interlock mechanism is provided in the Dense rack to
prevent the extension of no more than one DAE at a time.
Figure 38 shows the part number label location on the front of the 4U, 60 DAE chassis.

Table 30 lists the part number label location, part number, description, and whether it is a
FRU or CRU.
When sliding the 4U, 60 DAE out of or into the rack, be careful not to bind the power and
SAS cabling attached to the cable management arms on the back of the DAE.
To gain access to the DAE, you must first unlock the DAE from the rails, pull on the orange
loops on each side of the DAE (location 1 in Figure 39 on page 47). Finally, pull the orange
tabs on each side of the DAE to slide the DAE out of the rack on its rails until it locks into
the secure service position (location 2 in Figure 39 on page 47).
Note: If the 4U, 60 DAE does not slide out of the rack, verify that all the other DAEs are
completely seated in the rack by pushing firmly on them.
To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing the 4U, 60 DAE in a Dense rack, you
must take special precautions to ensure that the DAE remains stable. The following
guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:
When lifting this DAE, always use two people and a lifting device.
For service personnel, when accessing this unit in a rack above 31U, always use an EMC
authorized step ladder.
When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top
with the heaviest component at or close to the bottom of the rack.
If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or
servicing the DAE in the rack.

A portable (mechanical) lift (called the Trav-a-Lift Field Lift Tool, manufactured by
Alum-a-Lift Corp of Winston, GA) is a portable, lightweight aluminum lift for field use. This
lift tool is used to rack mount heavy EMC hardware in an EMC or customer-provided rack.
It can be operated either manually, or with the included cordless drill. Lift assembly is
aided by color coded and lettered alignment labels for safe, accurate, and quick
assembly. Each kit contains assembly instructions.
IMPORTANT
It is recommended that All EMC support/partners review the Field Lift Tool and Accessory
Kit guides available within the SolVE desktop application.
The Lift Tool can support up to 400 pounds (181 Kg) from the floor to a height of up to 49
inches (124 cm). If access to the top of a rack is needed a second mast can be mounted to
the first mast to lift heavy components to the top of the rack. The trade-off is the second
mast can only support 115 pounds (52 Kg). As of this writing, the lift tool alone can
support all but the heaviest enclosures, such as the 60-drive DAE. An accessory kit is
needed to lift the heaviest enclosures higher in the rack.
Generally, a portable (mechanical) lift (Figure 50 on page 57) is needed when one person
is mounting a component weighing more than 40 pounds (88 kg), or two persons
mounting a component weighing more than 80 pounds (176.3 kg). The capacity of the lift
varies by mounting height as previously described. Table 37 describes when a portable
(mechanical) lift alone is needed. In some cases an accessory kit is also needed. There is
no case where only the accessory kit is needed.

Table 38 describes the approximate weight of the VNX-series enclosures used in the VNX
storage systems (including all FRUs installed).
The portable lift commonly used by EMC service personnel has two configurations—one
with the lower mast only and one with both the lower and upper masts. The lower mast
configuration is rated for 400 pounds (181 kg) and is for raising or lowering objects 28U
(4.08 ft, 1.25 m) or less above the floor. The dual mast configuration is rated well under
200 pounds (90.7 kg) and is for raising objects more than 28U (4.08 ft, 1.25 m) above the
floor.
• For installations at or below 4.08 ft (1.25 m), you must use the lower mast
configuration.
• For installations above 4.08 ft (1.25 m), use the accessory kit, rated for 225 pounds
(102 kg), and a support table with the lower mast configuration. This accessory kit and
support table are available from the lift provider.
