Fibre Channel Drive Enclosures
The major enclosure components are:
■ 2.125-Gb, dual loop, 14-drive enclosure.
■ Dual-loop, FC-AL I/O modules and cable components that are the interface
between the drives and the host controllers.
■ Copper Fibre Channel cables
■ Fibre Channel disk drives and drive blanks.
■ Power and cooling components that include power supplies, cords, and
blowers.
■ EMU that monitors the operation of the enclosure and the elements while
displaying element status. When the EMU detects a condition that could
affect operation, it generates a local alarm and reports the condition to the
controller.
Enclosure Layout
The disk drives mount in the bays in the front of the enclosure. See Figure 30 .
These bays are numbered from the left (bay 1) to the right. A drive is referred to
by the bay number. The drive in bay 1 is drive 1, the drive in bay 8 is drive 8. The
enclosure status icons are located in the lower-right, front corner t.
