Enclosure number feature

This section provides a description of the purpose, function, and operation of the EMU enclosure
number (En) feature.

En description

In a single rack configuration, the En is a decimal number in the range 00 through 14, which is
automatically assigned by the enclosure address bus.
NOTE: Your storage system may use an enclosure address bus higher than 14 if your configuration
includes an optional expansion cabinet. The enclosure address bus connection determines the En.
For a single rack, the display is a decimal number in the range 01 through 14. For a multiple (two)
rack configuration, the display is decimal number in the range 01 through 24.
By default, the two-character alphanumeric display shows this number. Pressing the bottom
push-button changes the display to En, the En display mode.
When the display is En, pressing and releasing the top push-button displays the enclosure number.
A display of 00 indicates that the enclosure is not connected to the enclosure address bus. When
this condition exists, there is no EMU-to-EMU communication over the enclosure address bus.
