ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for setting an enclosure address in a computer system having a plurality of enclosures includes at least one enclosure address control device including input means for changing the enclosure address of an associated enclosure of the plurality of enclosures, a display device for indicating the enclosure address assigned to the associated enclosure, a controller for receiving an enclosure address change input from the input means and a logic device for resetting devices within the associated enclosure. The apparatus further includes a register device for receiving the enclosure address from the controller a predetermined period of time after the controller receives the enclosure address change input from the input means. After the predetermined period of time expires, the controller issues a command to the logic device for resetting the devices within the associated enclosure, to assign the changed enclosure address to the devices.
