I have the same issue with my unit, but the first two elements are
complaining.
Mine is not in production yet, but it will be next week. I tried:

setencstat /dev/ses0 0

and

setencstat /dev/ses0 ok

I then tried:

setobjstat /dev/ses0 0 1 0 0 0

and

setobjstat /dev/ses0 0x0 0x1 0x0 0x0 0x0

trying to set Element 0x0 to the same value as one of the temp sensors which
is reporting no problems (ie. element 0x2) and still it reports the
failures.
All the commands didn't report any problems.

I am trying to find a dos or windows utility on the Dell site to see if
Manuel
is correct and it is a previous problem and needs reset somehow. I am not
sure
why our setencstat and setobjstat are not working.

/dev/ses0: Enclosure Status <CRITICAL>
Element 0x0: Temperature sensors, Status=critical (bytes=0x02 0x00 0x48
0x08)
Element 0x1: Temperature sensors, Status=critical (bytes=0x02 0x00 0x49
0x08)
Element 0x2: Temperature sensors OK (Status=ok (bytes=0x01 0x00 0x00 0x00))
.
.
.
Element 0x11: Temperature sensors OK (Status=ok (bytes=0x01 0x00 0x00 0x00))
Element 0x12: Audible alarm OK (Status=ok (bytes=0x01 0x00 0x00 0x00))
Element 0x13: Device OK (Status=ok (bytes=0x01 0x00 0x00 0x00))
Element 0x14: Device, Status=not installed (bytes=0x05 0x01 0x08 0x10)
.
.
.
Element 0x18: Device, Status=not installed (bytes=0x05 0x05 0x08 0x10)

	Aha - that would make sense - thanks. 'setencstat ses0 0' gave me
	a "ses0(ahc0:6:0): SCB 1b - timed out in Data-out phase, SEQADDR
	== 0x165 SCSIRATE == 0x0" plus a bunch of other syslogged
	messages and now getencstat reports IO error, so its probably
	best I leave this box alone until its not in production use :)

	Thanks :)
