Enclosure address bus connections
Connecting the enclosures to the enclosure ID expansion cables establishes the enclosure address
bus. The enclosures are automatically numbered based on the enclosure ID expansion cable to
which they are connected.
Figure 15 (page 40)
shows the typical configuration of a 42U cabinet
with 14 enclosures.

Error Condition Reporting
The EMU constantly monitors enclosure operation and notifies you of conditions that could affect
operation. When an error condition is detected, the following action is taken:
•
The EMU alphanumeric display is changed to Er. A condition report has precedence over all
other displays.
•
The audible alarm sounds (if it is not disabled).
•
The error is stored in the error queue.
•
The error is passed to the controllers for processing and display by HP Command View EVA.
