11 | PCIe riser assembly 1 * |
12 | PCIe riser assembly 2 * |
13 | PCIe riser assembly 3 * Contains two half height PCIe slots. Note: PCIe riser assembly 2 and riser assembly 3 are riveted together. As a result, riser assembly 2 and riser assembly 3 are removed as one unit. |
* The 5340 Appliance add-in cards are available in multiple configurations. Several configurations include at least one Fibre Channel host bus adapter card for VMware, optimized deduplication over Fibre Channel, or tape library connectivity. In some configurations the Fibre Channel host bus adapter cards are installed into some of the PCIe slots. If the cards are installed in slots 5 and 6, the configuration supports Fibre Transport Media Server (FTMS) mode. Port 1 of each card is configured by default as Target, while port 2 is configured by default as Initiator. If you want, you can configure port 2 on both cards as Target, and you can configure port 1 on both cards as Initiator. Note: Starting with software version 3.1, FTMS is supported on configurations C, D, and E (8Gb FC HBA). Starting with software version 3.1.2, FTMS is supported on configurations G, H, and J (16Gb FC HBA). Note: You should not bond copper 1 Gb Ethernet ports that are installed in the appliance chassis with PCIe-based 10 Gb Ethernet Fibre Channel ports. |
Veritas appliances may include grounding studs in case your lab environment has such a requirement. The studs are located on the rear panel of the appliance. You can use standard grounding practices to connect grounding wires to the studs.
The serial number is located on a vertical bar on the rear panel of the appliance.
The ports on the rear panel are color-coded for easy identification.
