ABSTRACT:
The need for a SAF-TE processor embedded on a SCSI backplane of a hot-swap hard disk drive enclosure is eliminated by utilizing the functionality of a RAID on motherboard (ROMB) controller and an Embedded Server Management (ESM) interface already present in an information handling system. Only sensors and input-output (I/O) registers remain on the SCSI backplane as required. The SCSI backplane I/O is split between the ESM and ROMB according to functional requirements.
