Drive Enclosure Components and LEDs

A drive enclosure can be connected to a controller enclosure or to another drive
enclosure to provide additional disk storage capacity. Table 1-6 describes the drive
enclosure components.

The components and LEDs on the front of a drive enclosure are the same as on a
controller enclosure; see Figure 1-1 and Table 1-2.
