Overview

The HPE 12Gb SAS disk enclosures are available in the following models:
D3600/D3610: Supports up capacity of 7.2 TB with 600 GB SAS drives or 120 TB with 12G 10 TB SAS MDL or 6G 10 TB SATA MDL drives.
D3700/D3710: Supports up to 25 Small Form Factor (SFF) SAS drives for a maximum capacity of 45 TB with 12G 1.8 TB SAS drives or 50 TB with 12G 2 TB SAS MDL or SATA MDL drives. The D3700/3710 also supports 12G SAS and 6G SATA Solid State Drives (SSD).=
NOTE: Each enclosure is shipped with an optional digital rain bezel which customers can install as needed. The graphics in this guide are portrayed without the bezel for clarity.
NOTE: Depending on your disk enclosure model and controller installation environment, one or more disk enclosures can be cascaded from the disk enclosure that is connected to the controller. For more information, see the QuickSpecs for the disk enclosure, available on the D3000 website.

Disk drives

A variety of disk drive models are supported for use, including dual-ported and single-ported models. For more information, see the QuickSpecs for the disk enclosure, available on the D3000 website.
Disk drives are hot-pluggable.

Disk drive LEDs

Two LEDs indicate drive status.
NOTE: Both the D36x
0 LFF and D37x0 SFF drive carrier system use I2C communication for
drive authentication, failure and configuration info, activity animation and enhanced LEDs.

Disk drive blanks

To maintain the proper enclosure air flow, a disk drive or a disk drive blank must be installed in each drive bay. The disk drive blank maintains proper airflow within the disk enclosure.

Unit identification (UID) button
The unit identification (UID) button helps locate an enclosure and its components. When the UID button is activated, the UID indicators on the front and rear of the enclosure are .are illuminated. There is a UID button in the front panel, and another in the rear panel of the enclosure.
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.
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.

Power supply module

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.)

Power supply module LED

One LED provides module status information.

Fan module

Fan modules provide cooling necessary to maintain proper operating temperature within the controller enclosure.
If one fan fails, the system still runs, but Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends replacing the module. If two fans fail (either one complete module, or one fan per module) the system shuts down.

I/O module

The I/O module provides the interface between the disk enclosure and the host.
Each I/O module has two ports that can transmit and receive data for bidirectional operation.

I/O module LEDs

LEDs on the I/O module provide status information about each I/O port and the entire module.
NOTE: The following image illustrates LEDs on the I/O module.
The rear power and UID module includes status LEDs, a 7–segment display for status codes, and a unit identification (UID) button.

Rear power and UID module

Unit identification (UID) button

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.

Powering on

Power is applied to the enclosure chassis upon plugging the unit into a live power source. There is no power on/standby button.

Cables

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 D3000 website.

3 Deployment types

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 (page 43).
