ECB

External Cache Battery. The unit that supplies backup power to the cache

 

module in the event the primary power source fails or is interrupted.

ECC

Error Checking and Correction.

EDC

Error Detection Code.

EMU

Environmental monitoring unit. A unit that provides increased protection

 

against catastrophic failures. Some subsystem enclosures include an EMU

 

which works with the controller to detect conditions such as failed power

 

supplies, failed blowers, elevated temperatures, and external air sense faults.

 

The EMU also controls certain cabinet hardware including DOC chips,

 

alarms, and fan speeds.

ESD

Electrostatic discharge. The discharge of potentially harmful static electrical

 

voltage as a result of improper grounding.

extended subsystem A subsystem in which one or two cabinets are connected to the primary cabinet.

failedset

A group of failed mirrorset or RAIDset devices automatically created by the

 

controller.

configuration assumes the workload of a failed companion controller.

 

Failover continues until the failed controller is repaired or replaced.
