Enclosure Management
3ware enclosure management features let you view the status of chassis and enclosure hardware, such as fans, power supplies, and temperature sensors through 3DM2, and locate individual hardware components by blinking LEDs associated with them.
For 3ware 9750 RAID controllers, enclosure management features are available for supported enclosures that provide enclosure services through SCSI Enclosure Services 2 (SES-2). These enclosures may provide services through:

| Enclosures with expanders

| Enclosures employing the AMI 9070 or 9072 backplane controller chip, and with a SAS cable connection supporting the sideband I2C protocol between the 3ware RAID controller and the backplane

| To upgrade storage enclosure processor (SEP) firmware refer to the 3ware SATA+SAS RAID Controller Card CLI Guide, Version 10.2.

A list of supported enclosures is available at
http://www.lsi.com/channel/support/marketing_resources, through the Data & Interoperability tab.
Depending on the manufacturer of your enclosure, you may see variations in the features supported by your enclosure from the ones described in this chapter. For details about what features are supported, refer to the documentation for your enclosure.
This chapter describes how to view and locate enclosure-specific hardware. For information about identifying drives in an enclosure, see Locating a Drive by Blinking Its LED.
