Enclosure Fault Management

The operating status of different subsystem components, including the power supply units, fans, controller modules and disk drives; are monitored by the subsystem. An audible alarm, and LEDs and the RAID manager software can all serve to notify onsite users of component failure. Administrators can also be notified remotely via e-mail, SNMP, pager, or a LAN broadcast.
