Small form-factor pluggable (SFP)

Small form-factor pluggable (SFP)

Small form-factor (SFP) modules are compact, hot-pluggable transceivers inserted into
the SFP or SFP+ slot of an I/O module in a Block and File VNX5500 platform. This
transceiver module provides uplink optical interfaces, laser send or transmit (TX) and
laser receive (RX). An SFP or SFP+ transceiver module is hot-swappable. You can replace
an SFP or SFP+ from the rear of the SP or Data Mover while the platform is powered up.

Note: The SFP or SFP+ part number is visible only when the SFP or SFP+ is removed from an
I/O module port.

Laser safety guidelines

Before you install SFP or SFP+ modules in a Block and File VNX5500 platform or attempt to
operate or service a Block and File VNX5500 platform equipped with SFP modules, you
must read and observe the important safety information in this section of the document.

The Block and File VNX5500 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 the all 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.

Guidelines for handling SFP and SFP+ modules

Use these guidelines when you work with SFP and SFP+ modules:
◆ SFP and SFP+ modules are static sensitive. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap that is
connected to the rack in order to prevent ESD damage.
◆ SFP and SFP+ modules are dust sensitive. Always store the devices with dust plugs
installed in the optical bores.
◆ 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.

34 EMC VNX5500 Parts Location Guide

 Small form-factor pluggable (SFP)

Types of SFP and SFP+ module latches

SFP transceiver modules can have three types of latching devices to secure the SFP or
SFP+ transceiver in a port socket.
◆ SFP or SFP+ transceiver with a Mylar tab latch.
◆ SFP or SFP+ transceiver with an actuator button latch.
◆ SFP or SFP + transceiver that has a bale-clasp latch.

I/O modules using SFP or SFP+ transceiver modules

In the VNX5500 platform, the SFP or SFP+ transceiver modules are located in the ports of
the following I/O modules:
◆ Four-port 8-Gb/s Fibre Channel (FC) for 2, 4, and 8 Gb/s speed
◆ Two-port 1-Gb/s copper plus two-port 1-Gb/s optical
◆ Two-port 10-Gb/s optical (labeled 10 GbE iSCSI or 10 GbE v2)
◆ Two-port 10-Gb/s optical2 (labeled 10 GbE v3)
◆ Two-port 10-Gb/s Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)3

Types of SFP and SFP+ modules

Three types of SFP or SFP+ modules are used in the I/O modules of the Block and File
VNX5500 platform. Figure 30 on page 36 shows an example of an SFP or SFP+ with a part
number label.

IMPORTANT
Ensure that you correctly match the SFP or SFP+ module type with the I/O module type.

2. The 10 Gb/s module (labeled 10 GbE v3) 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.
3. The FCoE I/O module 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.

 DIMMs

DIMMs
The Storage Processor (SP) requires 12 GB per SP or 24 GB per array and the Data Mover
requires 12 GB per Data Mover.

SP DIMMs
The SP CPU uses SDRAM DIMMs4. Each SP uses three 4-GB unbuffered Double-Data-Rate
3 (DDR3) type memory for a total of 12 GB per SP or 24 GB per DPE or array. Figure 31
shows an example of the SP DIMM slot location.

Figure 32 on page 38 shows an example of the SP DIMM with a part number label.
Table 25 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 out of service, disconnect any SP cables, remove the SP from the
DPE, then remove the SP power supply/cooling module from the SP (see Figure 10 on
page 15, Figure 11 on page 15, and Figure 12 on page 16). With the SP CPU laying on an
antistatic mat, lift the DIMM cover up in the SP 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 procedure available from the VNX Procedure Generator
program.



Note the orientation of the VNX5500 Block and File (Unified) platform SP DIMMs (see
locations DIMM 0, DIMM 1, and DIMM 2 in Figure 31 on page 38). A label on the DIMM
cover also identifies the DIMM slots as DIMM 0, DIMM 1, and DIMM 2. In the VNX5500
Block and File (Unified) platform, the DIMMs are placed in slots 0, 1, and 2.

4. 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 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 procedure available
from the VNX Procedure Generator program.



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 procedure available from the VNX
Procedure Generator program.



Note the orientation of the VNX5500 Block and File platform Data Mover DIMMs (see
locations DIMM 0, DIMM 1, DIMM 2, DIMM 3, DIMM 4, and DIMM 5 in Figure 33 on

4U, 60 (2.5- or 3.5-inch) DAE

IMPORTANT
The 4U, 60 (2.5- or 3.5-inch) DAE is assembled and configured at the factory before
shipping. If replacing or adding a 4U, 60 (2.5- or 3.5-inch) DAE becomes necessary. Refer
to the CAUTION on page 45 that discusses the mounting and servicing of the 4U, 60, (2.5-
or 3.5-inch) DAE in a 40U Dense rack. Additionally, refer to the Replacing or Adding a DAE
for the 4U, 60, (2.5- or 3.5-inch) DAE documents.



Access to 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.

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 fan (or cooling modules), 60 disks (30 per side), two Link Control
Cards (LCCs), two Inter Connect Modules (ICMs), and two power supplies.

To replace or add any of these components, refer to their respective Customer

Replaceable Unit (CRU) procedure for the 4U, 60 DAE. For example, to replace a disk drive,
refer to the Replacing a disk in a 60-disk enclosure document.

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.

Access to disk drives, LCCs, and fan control modules

Unlike the 2U and 3U DAEs, the 4U, 60 DAE is a drawer-type of DAE that slides in and out
of a 40U Dense rack. The DAE is not fixed to the rack. To view the part numbers for the disk
drives, fan control modules, and LCCs, which are located inside the DAE, you slide the
DAE out of the rack. Then, you slide the top cover on the DAE toward the rear of the rack to
view the components.



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, release the cable management arms and move
them to either side on the back of the DAE (see the Opening the cable management arms
task in the procedure). Then, pull up on the Dense rack vertical slide bar interlock
mechanism. Next, to unlock the DAE from the rails, pull on the orange loops on each side
of the DAE (location 1 in Figure 38 on page 45). 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 38 on page 45).

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.

 Disk-array enclosure (DAE)



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. The Replacing a DAE document for the DAE provides more
information.
