Chapter 1 Install the VersaVirtual Appliance

Identify Ports and

Components

The VVA contains the following ports and components:

• Two server modules — left and right

• One NPU module, which is used as a dedicated host for the VMware vSAN™witness host

and other appliances

•Twopowersupplies

Each server module has five network ports, including one Integrated Dell Remote Access

Controller (iDRAC) port. These server module ports must be connected to your network switch.

The NPU module has two network ports that must also be connected to your network switch.
