defective drive to be simply removed from the subsystem and the replacement unit installed in its
place. Both the Intel RAID Controller SRCMR and the subsystem control this process so that
problems on the SCSI/FC-AL bus are eliminated and the rebuilding of the missing data is initiated
automatically. No further user interaction is necessary.
Non-Intelligent Enclosures
Since SAF-TE or SES subsystems are expensive, Intel RAID Controller SRCMR integrates
functionality which allows for the control of up to 16 non-intelligent enclosures with up to 15 hard
disks each, and provides for auto hot plug.
In the example in Figure 39 one subsystem is defined. The hard disks with their disk shuttles could
also be mounted directly into the server enclosure. The term enclosure in this case is a definition
set, which includes all hard disks which should be auto hot pluggable.
Figure 39. Select Enclosure
The example in Figure 40 shows the slots of the enclosure which have been assigned with hard
disks. To fill an empty slot, press and select the desired hard disk. See Figure 40.
