  • 1 The enclosure will continue operating, requiring an administrator to take appropriate action; such as replacing a PSU or reducing the room temperature. Alarm messages will be in the COS System manager interface.
  • 2 An alarm is not issued for this status and severity condition.
  • 3 The enclosure will take action; such as shutting down in order to protect the enclosure’s data content. Alarm messages are signaled by the SES pages (see Enclosure management).
  • 4 An IOM fault will prevent data from being stored within the Disk Enclosure.
