Enclosure end cap indicators

Enclosure indicators provide an overview of the enclosure status. The enclosure indicators are on the left end cap of the enclosure for Lenovo Storage V series systems.

Labels and indicators on the enclosure left end cap provide information about the enclosure and the enclosure status. The product name, machine type-model, serial number, and type of enclosure (control or expansion) are shown on the Lenovo Storage V series left end cap. When multiple enclosures are in a machine room or rack, the serial number is used to identify the enclosure being referenced.
