NOTE: The rollup status of the enclosure turns critical when the EMM, PSU, or Fan is removed but the primary Status remains
unchanged. After the CMC or chassis is power cycled, the primary status also changes to critical.

Reporting up to two Enclosures per Connector
Each External Shared PERC 8 card supports up to two enclosures per connector. However, there are two dierent congurations with
dierent restrictions. In a single PERC (non-fault tolerant) conguration you can connect up to two enclosures per card. Because of
redundant cabling, a Fault Tolerant External Shared PERC 8 card solution supports up to two enclosures per fault tolerant pair.
If more than two enclosures are detected on any connector, a warning message is logged to the chassis log. This aects chassis health and
provides an active alert or chassis log entry.
