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.
25. Available 5340 Appliance PCIe-based I/O configurations The rear panel of the Veritas 5340 Appliance contains three PCIe riser card assemblies. PCIe riser card assemblies 1 and 2 each support three standard PCIe cards, while PCIe riser card assembly 3 supports two low profile PCIe cards. The slots are labeled 1 to 8.

About the Veritas 5340 Appliance About the appliance compute node rear panel Note: A 5340 Appliance high availability (HA) configuration must use two identical 5340 compute nodes with regard to model number and hardware configuration. For example, you can use two 5340 compute nodes with configuration D. However, you cannot use one 5340 Appliance compute node with configuration D and one 5340 Appliance compute node with configuration B.

NetBackup 5340 Appliance software version 3.1.1 supports up to 960TiB (1,056TB) of usable MSDP storage capacity. For all storage configurations with an aggregate total of all MSDP pools equaling 960TB or larger, Veritas strongly recommends upgrading the memory capacity to 1536GB.
MSDP storage if desired. The total amount of usable storage capacity depends on the number of storage shelves that are connected to the Flex compute node. ** For these storage shelf configurations, Veritas strongly recommends that you upgrade the memory capacity to 1.5TB, due to the increased resource requirements from updated MSDP encryption standards.
