VNX5800 Parts Location Guide
VNX5800 Parts Location Guide
VNX5800™
This guide is a parts location guide for the EMC® VNX5800™ platform and provides
illustrations of where the part number labels of orderable parts for the VNX5800 platform.
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 VNX5800 platform components. Throughout
this guide, are references to separate FRU or CRU procedures you should follow before
attempting to access any of these VNX5800 platform components.

The part numbers listed in the tables in this guide are for reference only. Part numbers can
change over time, and this document does not keep pace with those changes. The EMC
parts inventory system will automatically substitute for the latest part numbers as
required.
Note: Throughout this guide, figure references are placed in the Part number label location
heading of tables because some of the tables have part number label locations (as
described in Table 1 on page 9) and some do not (as described in Table 2 on page 10).
This format is used throughout this guide.

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 62 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.

I/O modules
In the VNX5800 platform, 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. As a result, 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 EMC DPE9 Replacing an I/O Module in
a DPE or Replacing an I/O module in a blade2 procedure.

available online at https://mydocs.emc.com/VNX/.
The File/Unified VNX5800 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
VNX5800 platform. Figure 30 shows an example of an SFP or SFP+ with a part number
label.
4. 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 32 GB per SP or 64 per DPE or array and the
Data Mover requires 12 GB per Data Mover or 24 per DME.
SP DIMMs
The SP CPU uses SDRAM DIMMs5. Each SP uses four 8-GB Double-Data-Rate 3 (DDR3) type
memory for a total of 32 GB per SP CPU or 64 per DPE. Figure 31 on page 36 shows an
example of the SP DIMM slot location.
Figure 34 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 remove only 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.
5. 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 VNX5800 File/Unified platform SP DIMMs (see locations
DIMM 0 through DIMM 7 in Figure 31). A label on the rear, horizontal bar of the SP
chassis identifies the location of the DIMM slots. The 8-GB DIMMs are placed in the
following slots (DIMM 0, DIMM 2, DIMM 5, and DIMM 7). DIMM slots 1, 3, 4, and 6 are
empty.

6. The part number label is located on the bottom, left or right side of the DIMM module
(Figure 34).
Table 26 lists the part number location, 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 Data Mover out of service, disconnect any Data Mover cables,
remove the Data Mover from the DME, then remove the Data Mover power supply/cooling
module from the Data Mover (Figures 18 and 19 on page 21). 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 blade6 enclosure procedure.
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 Replacing a memory module in a blade enclosure procedure.

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 60 on page 64) 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 42 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 43 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.
