VNX5400 Parts Location Guide
VNX5400™
July 9, 2014
This guide is a parts location guide for the EMC® VNX5400™ platform and provides
illustrations of where the part number labels of orderable parts for the VNX5400 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 VNX5400 platform components. Throughout
this guide, are references to separate FRU or CRU procedures you should follow before
attempting to access any of these VNX5400 platform components.

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
[Link]
IMPORTANT
For VNX5400 systems with the 200-240 V AC power supply (models
VNX54DPxxx/VNXB54DPxxx), 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 VNX54VPxxx), at
least two 100-240 V AC circuits are required for higher availability. For full power
specifications, go to [Link] 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
[Link] 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 VNX5400 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 EMC DPE9 Replacing an I/O Module in
a DPE or Replacing an I/O module in a blade2 procedure.

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 [Link]
The File/Unified VNX5400 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
VNX5400 platform. Figure 28 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 24 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 DIMMs5. 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 29 on page 35
shows an example of the SP DIMM slot location.
Figure 32 on page 37 shows an example of the SP DIMM with a part number label.
Table 25 on page 38 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.
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 VNX5400 File/Unified platform SP DIMMs (see locations
DIMM 0 through DIMM 7 in Figure 29). 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.

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.
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 37 shows the part number label location on the front of the 4U, 60 DAE chassis.

Table 29 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 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.
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.
