Back-Panel Indicators and Features
Figure1-4 shows the back-panel features of a fully populated enclosure containing both enclosure
management modules (EMMs) and two power supply/cooling fan modules. The enclosure requires at
least one EMM to be installed; if only one EMM is installed, it must reside in the primary (left, as seen
from rear of enclosure) EMM bay. Both power supply/cooling fan modules must be installed. However,
the enclosure can run temporarily on one power supply/cooling fan module. For more information, see
"Power Supply and Cooling Fan Features."
