Enclosure Management - IBM 5147-084 Installation And User Manual

Figure 14. 6Gb/s SAS EBOD module
The system can operate with one or two modules. If the enclosure is run with a single module, the other
I/O module bay must be filled with a blank module. The presence of I/O modules is checked when the
power is switched on. The enclosure will not power up if there are no I/O modules present. An alarm
occurs when incompatible configurations are detected.
The enclosure chassis is keyed to prevent I/O modules from being inserted upside down.

Enclosure management

SBB I/O modules actively manage the enclosure. If one of the modules fails in a two module system, the
other module will continue to operate.
