For a description of the LEDs, see “Front LEDs” on page 74.
Right-side bezel and bottom shelf
The right-side bezel and bottom shelf contain the hard disk drive
identification information. Figure 5 shows the right-side bezel of the DS3512
storage subsystem and EXP3512 expansion enclosure. Figure 6 shows the
bottom shelf of the DS3524 storage subsystem and EXP3524 expansion
enclosure.
The hard disk drives come preinstalled in drive trays. Install drives in the drive bays
on the front of the storage subsystem or expansion enclosure. When a drive is
installed, the drive and tray bay designation is set automatically. The hardware
addresses are based on the enclosure ID setting on the controller and on the
physical locations of the drives.
