These major components are:
1. Two DataPacs, containing multiple drives in sealed assemblies
2. One System status module
3. Two Managed Reliability Controllers (MRCs), providing control and value-added features
4. Two emergency power units, made up of supercapacitors, capable of providing power to write-back cache
for up to one year
5. One chassis, custom-designed to house the active components of the ISE
6. Two power supply units with blowers, providing a redundant power source
Of the above listed components, all but numbers 2 and 5 are Field Replaceable Units (FRU). Additionally, the
ISE contains one to eight more FRUs; they are the Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) Fibre Channel
