Identifying connected expansion enclosures

Complete this task to identify expansion enclosures that are connected to your server enclosure.

The light path Identify function allows you to visually identify the expansion enclosures that are connected to your server enclosure. Using the Identify function does not affect the performance of your storage unit.
  1. Move to the rear operator panel of your server enclosure.
  2. Press the Identify button that is located on the rear operator panel. The location LED indicator on the server enclosure flashes as the location indicators on the connected expansion enclosures enter a solid blue state.
  3. Wait for the location indicator on the server enclosure to enter a solid blue (not flashing) state. Once the location indicators on all of the connected expansion enclosures are lit, the location indicator stops flashing and remains a solid blue.
  4. Visually identify all of the expansion enclosures that have a solid blue location LED indicator lit on the front display panel. These are the expansion enclosures that are connected to your server enclosure.
  5. Once you have identified all connected expansion enclosures and no longer need the location indicator lit, push the Identify button on the rear operator panel. The location LED indicator on the server enclosure flashes as the location indicators on the connected expansion enclosures turn off. The location indicator on the server enclosure turns off once all of the expansion enclosure location indicators have turned off.
