VNX5400 Block cabling best practices
Hello,
I wanted to make sure I have my SAN cabled per EMC's best practices and was wondering if you can comment on the attached drawing.
I have purchased dual CS with three DAEs. Thank you for you help

Thank you, but I just wanted to see if the drawing was cabled correct or not?
Is there other information I can provide?

DAEs connect to SAS ports (if VNX2, located on the Base Module or SAS I/O module) on either a Disk Possessor Enclosure (DPE) or Storage Processor Enclosure (SPE). From a best practices standpoint, utilize all available buses before daisy chaining DAEs together. See the Unified install guide and the Best practices guide for more information.

Control Stations do not connect to DAEs, so the drawing is incorrect. The installation guide includes all system cabling, so that should provide you with enough details.
