Enclosure Management Module

Enclosure Management Module (EMM) provides data path and enclosure management tasks for enclosure. EMM monitors and
controls the enclosure components and access to the drives.
EMM communicates enclosure attributes and states to the host server. The EMM modules monitor the following components of the
enclosure:

•

Fans

•

Power supplies

•

Temperature probes

•

Insertion or removal of a physical disk

•

LEDs on the enclosure

Viewing EMM Status and attributes

EMM status displays the health of the EMM. EMMs contain a status value that is unique from the enclosure. You can have up to
two EMMs. Enclosure firmware creates a status for each EMM.

Viewing EMM Status and Attributes Using Web Interface

To view the status and attributes of the EMM:
Click

Properties

. The

Enclosures page

provides the EMM status and attributes of

the enclosures in the chassis. Expand the integrated enclosure or external enclosures to view the status and attributes of the EMM.
For more information, see the

CMC Online Help
