1.9.4. Blanking Plates
Blanking Plates must be fitted in any vacant PSU bay or PCI card
slots at the rear of the enclosure to maintain airflow and ensure
correct operation.
CAUTION:
Operation of the Enclosure with ANY modules miss-
ing will disrupt the airflow and the drives will not receive sufficient
cooling.
1.10. Enclosure Management
The Enclosure Management PCB provides the required reporting
functionality. No Operating System should be required to manage
the following functions:
✦
Audible Alarm Control
✦
PSU Status monitoring
✦
Fan Speed reporting
✦
Fan Speed control
✦
Fan Fail monitoring (with Fault LED)
✦
Enclosure Temperature monitoring for CPU(s), FBDIMM(s),
Motherboard, plenum
✦
Alarm on over temperature
✦
3.5” HDD presence detection
✦
3.5” HDD Fault LED control
✦
Front panel LED’s and switches (including Enclosure Fault In-
dication)
✦
Intrusion detection
✦
Serial EEPROM to store system setup parameters
– Serial number, machine type, number of drive bays etc.
StorView® management suite uses the industry standard SES com-
munications protocol, which is the only supported communication
method to the enclosure firmware. Other tools may cause unpredict-
able side effects and hence are not supported.
SES support is at ANSI SES 2.0 level and supports SES Pages 0, 1, 2,
5, 7, Ah and Eh. Download of the Enclosure firmware is supported
via SES Page Eh. During firmware download all RAID data activity
must be stopped.
