About the ES Module
The ES module, shown in
Figure 3-1
, is located on the rear of the
Storage Enclosure, between the two APC modules.
Figure 3-1
ES Module
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
that connects to the I/O module. It reports status using LEDs (on the
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
the data path. For more information, see
Hot-swapping the ES
Module
on page 4-9
.

.)
Pressing the Alarm Mute button deactivates the alarm. The alarm
remains deactivated until the ES module is reset or until another
