Disk-array enclosures
ICM
The 4U, 60 DAE external interfaces are made through the ICM. The ICM is the primary
interconnect management element (Figure 96).
The ICM is a plug-in module that includes a USB connector, RJ-12 management adapter,
Bus ID indicator, enclosure ID indicator, two input mini-SAS connectors, and two output
mini-SAS connectors with corresponding LEDs indicating the link and activity of each
mini-SAS connector for input and output to devices.
The ICM is hot-swapable. It has a built-in thumbscrew for ease of installation and removal.
Figure 96 Example of ICM connectors and LEDs (rear view)
As described previously, the ICMs in a 4U, 60 DAE connect to the SPE and other DAEs with
6-Gb/s SAS cables. The cables connect the ICMs in a system in a daisy-chain topology.
