Enclosure mode switch

The function of this switch is not applicable to your
storage array. However, if MD1200 Series
expansion enclosures are daisy chained to the
storage array, the enclosure mode switches of the
MD1200 Series expansion enclosures must be set
to the Unified-Mode position.

NOTE: This switch must be set before turning
on the MD1200 Series expansion enclosure.
Changing the switch setting after the
expansion enclosure is turned on has no effect
on the enclosure configuration until the
expansion enclosure goes through a complete
power cycle.
