Identifying the ports in the back of my network device

I think I'm looking at a disk array but I'm not sure.

I would appreciate a deciphering (or a link) describing the following abbreviations:
I have two RJ45 ports:  CGE0 and CGE1  What does CGE mean?
I have four Fiber ports BE0, BE0, FGE0, FGE1.  What's the diffeence between FGE and BE?

Finally two symbols which I am unable to accurately describe. (see graphic)
If you have links which describe these that would be great.

Thanks to all.  But the EMC user guide I have in PDF form is no use!  I searched the online copy I had and found no "key to symbols"  And the one hard copy we had?  Those were "borrowed" long ago and never returned.

Hard to learn this stuff when the documentation isn't there.

Couldn't find those symbols anywhere on my SANs... VNX 5300s

What model SAN is that?

The right icon looks like a classic "do not connect to phone system" (phone systems carry DC voltage, potentially bad for networking gear).
The left one looks like a Fibre channel loop icon. These days FC loops are usually used to hook up expansion disk boxes to storage head ends.

As @akalbfell says, if you can share an exact model no, we can try to look it up.

Experts Exchange is like having an extremely knowledgeable team sitting and waiting for your call. Couldn't do my job half as well as I do without it!
