Disk-array enclosure
LCC
Each 4U, 60 DAE includes two LCCs. The primary function of each LCC is to be a SAS 
expander providing services to 30 drive slots per LCC in the 4U, 60 DAE.
The LCC implements Common Disk Enclosure Subsystem (CDES). CDES consists of a 
6-Gb/s SAS expander, Common Disk Enclosure FPGA (CDEF), and supporting logic.
The primary components on the LCC are the two SAS expanders. A four lane SAS wide port 
connecting each expander to the ICM expander on the same side (A or B) of the 4U, 60 
DAE is available. Each LCC independently monitors the environmental status of the entire 
enclosure, using a microcomputer-controlled monitor program. The monitor 
communicates the status to the storage processor, which polls disk enclosure status.
Figure 84 shows the location of the status LEDs on the 4U, 60 DAE LCC.

Table 50 describes the 4U, 60 DAE LCC status LEDs.
Fan control module (cooling module)
Each 4U, 60 DAE includes three fan control modules (cooling modules) located on the 
front of the DAE. The fan control module includes a fan, fuse, and microcontroller with an 
I

C interface inside a rugged enclosure.
The fan control module augments the cooling capacity of each 4U, 60 DAE. It plugs 
directly into the DAE baseboard from the top of the DAE. Inside the fan control module, 
sensors measure the external ambient temperatures to ensure even cooling throughout 
the DAE.
