Item Indicator, Button, or Connector Description
Lights amber as enclosure boots or is reset.
Blinks amber when the enclosure is either in a fault 
state or the hosts are not using the preferred path 
to a virtual disk.
2 Power LED The power LED lights green when at least one 
power supply is supplying power to the enclosure.
3 Split mode LED This LED must be unlit as the split mode function is 
not supported by the MD3400 Series Storage 
Arrays.
4 System identification button The system identification button on the front 
control panel can be used to locate a particular 
enclosure within a rack. When the button is 
pushed, the system status indicators on the control 
panel and the RAID controller module(s) blink blue 
until the button is pushed again.
5 Hard drives MD3400—Up to twelve 3.5 inch SAS hot-
swappable hard drives.
MD3420—Up to twenty four 2.5 inch SAS hot-
swappable hard drives.
6 Enclosure mode switch The function of this switch is not applicable to your 
storage array. However, if MD1200 Series 
expansion enclosures are daisy chained to the 
storage array, the enclosure mode switches of the 
MD1200 Series expansion enclosures must be set 
to the Unified-Mode position.
NOTE: This switch must be set before turning 
on the MD1200 Series expansion enclosure. 
Changing the switch setting after the 
expansion enclosure is turned on has no effect 
on the enclosure configuration until the 
expansion enclosure goes through a complete 
power cycle.
