Figure 1-5 Disk enclosure bus and address indicators
The enclosure address is set at installation. Disk module IDs are numbered 
left to right (looking at the front of the unit) and are contiguous throughout 
an array: enclosure 0 contains modules 0-14; enclosure 1 contains modules 
15-29; enclosure 2 includes 30-44, and so on through eight enclosures.
The enclosure EA switch and bus indicator are described in the 
installation procedure in Chapter 2. The status lights are described in 
the “Monitoring disk enclosure status” section of Chapter 3.
Midplane
A midplane between the disk modules and the LCC and 
power/cooling modules distributes power and signals to all 
components in the enclosure. LCCs, power/cooling modules, and 
disk drives — the enclosure’s field-replaceable units (FRUs) — plug 
directly into the midplane. 
Front bezel
The front bezel, shown in Figure 1-6, has a locking latch and an 
electromagnetic interference (EMI) shield. You must remove the bezel
