The ES module receives and reports status information for the Storage
Enclosure’s APC modules, disk drives, and for the enclosure itself. The
ES module receives and reports status through a two-wire serial bus

APC modules, drive carriers, and enclosure) and an audible alarm.
The ES module can also be used for downloading firmware.
The ES module is hot-swappable, and removing it does not affect
