Enclosure ID indicator
The rear display also has an enclosure identifier indicator. This uses two seven-segment
LEDs to display the enclosure identifier number. The left-hand digit displays the device
adapter switched loop the enclosure resides on. This will be 0 or 1 depending on whether the
expansion enclosure is attached to the
disk exp
ports or the
disk contrl
ports respectively. On
the server enclosure it will always be 0. The right-hand digit displays the enclosure base
address. It will range from 0 to 3. This address will be set automatically after the enclosure is
powered on and joins the loop.
Rack identify connector
On the far right-hand end of the rear panel is a connector known as the rack identify
connector. The intention is to allow a user to attach the enclosure to eServer rack identifier
hardware. This allows you to identify in which rack a particular DS6000 storage or expansion
enclosure is located.
