Abstract
Enclosure services in a computer system having a Host computer and at least one Target device, are provided on a functional path, which is preferably a relatively high-speed, point-to-point serial bus between the Host computer and the at least one Target device. The at least one Target device and the Host computer each have a full power operational mode and an auxiliary power mode. The Host computer generates enclosure services commands and sends them to the at least one Target device on the functional path. The at least one Target device can receive and respond to the enclosure services commands, even when in the auxiliary power mode.
