Expansion Enclosure Status Monitoring
When the system connects with expansion enclosures, acquires the component
status within other enclosures via a proprietary enclosure monitoring service using
the in-band connectivity. No additional management connection is required.
I
2
C bus
The detection circuitry and temperature sensors are interfaced through a
non-user-serviceable I
2
C bus. When expansion enclosures are attached to
controllers, expansion enclosure component status is reported through in-band
protocols over expansion links that is managed by a proprietary enclosure service.
Firmware (FW) and Management Software Suite
The firmware (FW) is preloaded and is used to configure the system. The FW can be
accessed through the management software, a browser-based graphical user
interface (GUI) software that can be installed on a local/remote computer and
accessed via the network. The manager communicates with the array via the
connection of the existing host links or the Ethernet link to the array’s Ethernet port.
Audible Alarms
The system comes with audible alarms that are triggered when certain active
components fail or when certain controller or system thresholds are exceeded.
Whenever you hear an audible alarm, it is imperative that you determine the cause
and rectify the problem immediately.
Event notification messages indicate the completion or status of array configuration
tasks and are always accompanied by two or three successive and prolonged beeps.
The alarm can be turned off using the
on the front panel.
WARNING
Failing to respond when an audible alarm is heard can lead to permanent damage(s)
to the system. When an audible alarm is heard, rectify the problem as soon as
possible.
