Enclosure Management Module
Enclosure Management Module (EMM) provides data path and enclosure management tasks for enclosure. EMM monitors and controls
the enclosure components and access to the drives.
EMM communicates enclosure attributes and states to the host server. The EMM modules monitor the following components of the
enclosure:
• Fans
• Power supplies
• Temperature probes
• Insertion or removal of a physical disk
• LEDs on the enclosure
Viewing EMM Status and attributes
EMM status displays the health of the EMM. EMMs contain a status value that is unique from the enclosure. You can have up to two
EMMs. Enclosure firmware creates a status for each EMM.
