The unit identification (UID) button helps locate an enclosure and its components. When the UID button is activated, the UID on the front and rear of the enclosure are illuminated.
NOTE:
A remote session from the management utility can also illuminate the UID.
•To turn on the UID light, press the UID button. The UID light on the front and the rear of the enclosure will illuminate solid blue. (The UID on cascaded storage enclosures are not illuminated.)
•To turn off an illuminated UID light, press the UID button. The UID light on the front and the rear of the enclosure will turn off.
Two power supplies provide the necessary operating voltages to all controller enclosure components.
If one power supply fails, the remaining power supply is capable of operating the enclosure. (Replace any failed component as soon as possible.)
NOTE:
If one of the two power supply modules fails, it can be hot-replaced.
One LED provides module status information.

The unit identification (UID) button helps locate an enclosure and its components. When the UID button is activated, the UID on the front and rear of the enclosure are illuminated.
NOTE:
A remote session from the management utility can also illuminate the UID.
•To turn on the UID light, press the UID button. The UID light on the front and the rear of the enclosure will illuminate solid blue. (The UID on cascaded storage enclosures are not illuminated.)
•To turn off an illuminated UID light, press the UID button. The UID light on the front and the rear of the enclosure will turn off.
The power on/standby button applies either full or partial power to the enclosure chassis.
•To initially power on the enclosure, press and hold the on/standby button for a few seconds, until the LEDs begin to illuminate.
•To place an enclosure in standby, press and hold the on standby button for a few seconds, until the on/standby LED changes to amber.
NOTE:
System power to the disk enclosure does not completely shut off with the power on/standby button. The standby position removes power from most of the electronics and components, but portions of the power supply and some internal circuitry remain active. To completely remove power from the system, disconnect all power cords from the device.
These disk enclosures use cables with mini-SAS connectors for connections to the host and to additional cascaded disk enclosures.
Use supported SAS cables with mini-SAS connectors. A variety of SAS cables and cable lengths are supported for use with this disk enclosure. For more information, see the QuickSpecs for the disk enclosure, available on the D2000 website: http://www.hp.com/go/D2000.

20 Technical specifications
The following types of deployments are supported:
•Single domain
In a single domain deployment, one path exists from the disk enclosure to the host. In a single domain deployment, only one I/O module in the disk enclosure is used
•Dual domain
In a dual domain deployment, two paths exist from the disk enclosure to the host. In a dual domain deployment, both I/O modules in the disk enclosure are used. Because dual domain deployments provide two paths to the storage, access is ensured, even in the event of device, cable, or power failure. In dual domain environments, dual-port disk drives are required.
•Server attached (single or dual domain)
In a server attached deployment, the disk enclosure is connected to a controller card installed in a server. Several models of controller cards are supported for use with this disk enclosure. For more information, see the QuickSpecs for the disk enclosure.
•Controller enclosure attached (single or dual domain)
In a controller enclosure attached deployment, the disk enclosure is connected to a rack-mounted array controller enclosure. The controller enclosure is then connected to the server or network. Several models of array controller enclosures are supported for use with this disk enclosure. For more information, see the QuickSpecs for the disk enclosure.
NOTE:
Cabling illustrations are provided elsewhere in this guide, showing a variety of example deployments. See Chapter 7 on page 45.
