g. Connect the power cords.
h. Apply power to the MDS600 or D6000 storage enclosures.
Confirm successful startup of the MDS600 or D6000 storage enclosure. View the LEDs
on the front and rear of each MDS600 or D6000 to monitor the progress of the POST.
For more information about MDS600 LED patterns, see "Component identification" in
the HP 600 Modular Disk System User Guide or HP D6000 Disk Enclosure User Guide.
i. If needed, upgrade the firmware on the I/O modules, using the firmware obtained in
Step 8.c. The MDS600 or D6000 must be updated using the Virtual SAS Manager (VSM)
utility of the SAS BL Switch.

information is displayed in the VSM. In the Systems and Devices navigation tree, select
the D2600/D2700, and then click More Information.
c. Determine if there is a newer version of firmware available. Firmware for the
D2600/D2700 can be obtained from the HP Support Downloads website
www.hp.com/support/downloads. Be sure to download and use the .pmc file download;
do not download the Smart Component .scexe file, because it is not supported in this
solution environment.)
d. Rack the D2600/D2700 storage enclosure.
e. Insert drives in the D2600/D2700 storage enclosure. Be sure that either a blank module
or a drive is installed in each drive bay, to ensure proper airflow and cooling.
f. Connect SAS cables from the D2600/D2700 I/O modules to the switch.
Be sure to follow provided guidelines of a fault-tolerant cabling configuration to provide
a highly available solution.
