Component
This section explains the components of the drive enclosures.

I/O Modules
The I/O module is a component that controls how the controller and the drives interact.
The I/O module is connected to the controller or an I/O module on another drive enclosure.
A drive enclosure has two I/O modules, which makes it possible for a failed I/O module to be replaced while the
system is running.
