Procedure: Identifying which enclosure or canister to service
Use this procedure to identify which enclosure or canister must be serviced.
About this task
To prevent loss of access to data or loss of data when you service your system, it is important to be able to identify the correct enclosure or canister when you complete a service action. Each enclosure is identified by its model type and serial number. Model type and serial number are indicated by labels on the enclosure front and rear.
Each canister is identified by its enclosure and slot location. Viewing an enclosure from the rear, slot 1 is on the left and slot 2 is on the right. There are physical differences between control enclosures and expansion enclosures.
