Controller SAS Port
The SAS ports are used to connect the base unit to additional disk enclosures and have two Status LEDs, a
green Link LED on the left and an Orange Fault LED on the right.
Fibre Channel Host Ports
The ports labeled HP and HPE on the base unit controllers are Fibre Channel Host Ports (FC Ports) that
are used to connect the array to the application servers. There are two FC Ports standard on each
controller. The number of FC ports can be expanded to four or six ports per controller on D3 base units with
Host Port Expansion (HPE) options.
Management and Maintenance Ports
The management port provides the network connection for the management server. The maintenance port
is only for use by NEC-authorized service professionals.
