Managing Enclosures; Displaying Enclosure Status; Using Enclosure Management Pages - HP 2000fc Reference Manual

Managing Enclosures

Each controller module and expansion module contains an Expander Controller
(EC). The storage system can query EC for information about enclosure
environmental conditions such as temperature, power supply and fan status, and the
presence or absence of disk drives. The system can also communicate information
to the EC about RAID activities such as disk drive rebuilds and failed disk drives.
The EC is also referred to as the enclosure management processor (EMP).
