Detailed Description

Accept Pipeline Input?	True (ByPropertyName)
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

-InputObject<CimInstance[]>

Specifies an array of storage enclosures as CimInstance objects. This cmdlet turns on the identification LED for the enclosures that the objects specify, or for slots that belong to the specified enclosures. To obtain a storage enclosure object, use the Get-StorageEnclosure cmdlet.

Aliases	none
