About the Rackmount Disk-Array Processor Enclosure
Each LCC has two status lights visible from the back of the DPE. For
definitions of these light colors, see the “Monitoring DPE Status”
section in Chapter 3.
A latch on the LCC locks it into place to ensure proper connection to
the midplane. You can add or replace an LCC while the DPE is
powered up.
Disk Modules
Each disk module (see figure below) consists of a Fibre Channel disk
drive in a carrier assembly. You can add or remove a disk module
while the DPE is powered up.
