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 your enclosure model, available at
http://www.hp.com/go/D2000.
The enclosure and its components are detailed in the following sections:
• Small Form Factor disk enclosure chassis, page 8
• Large Form Factor disk enclosure chassis, page 9
• Disk drives, page 11
• Front status and UID module, page 12
• Power supply module, page 14
• Fan module, page 15

Disk drives
A variety of disk drive models are supported for use, including dual-ported SAS disk drives and
single-ported SATA disk drives. For more information, see the QuickSpecs for your enclosure model,
available on the D2000 website: http://www.hp.com/go/D2000.
Disk drives are hot-pluggable.
Disk drive LEDs
Two LEDs indicate drive status.
NOTE:
The following image shows a Small Form Factor (SFF) disk drive. LED patterns are the same for SFF
and LFF disk drives.

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.
D2600/D2700 Disk Enclosure User Guide 13
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.)
NOTE:
If one of the two power supply modules fails, it can be hot-replaced.
Power supply 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 remaining fan is capable of cooling the enclosure. (Replace any failed
component as soon as possible.)
NOTE:
If one of the two fan modules fail, it can be hot-replaced.

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.
Power on/standby button
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.
D2600/D2700 Disk Enclosure User Guide 19
SAS cables
These disk enclosures use cables with mini-SAS connectors for connections to the controller and
cascaded disk enclosures.
