Dell PowerVault ME4 Series Storage System Administrator’s Guide

Rear view

The Rear tab shows the rear of all enclosures in a graphical view.

The rear view shows enclosure IDs and the presence or absence of power supplies, controller modules, and expansion modules. It also shows controller module IDs, host port types and names, network port IP addresses, and expansion port names.

To see more information, hover the cursor over an enclosure ear or a component. To illuminate a locator LED for any of the components, select one or more components and click Turn On LEDs. To turn off individual locator LEDs, select the components and click Turn Off LEDs. To turn off all locator LEDs, ensure that no components are selected and click Turn Off LEDs. For a 5U84 enclosure, only enclosures, I/O modules, and disks are selectable.

NOTE:Protocol-specific properties are displayed only for host ports that use those protocols.
