1 HPE StoreEasy 3000 Storage
The HPE StoreEasy 3000 Storage products enable simplified file and application storage. These
products reduce your cost of ownership by simplifying management, increasing resource utilization,
centralizing growth, and protecting data.
Features
The HPE StoreEasy 3000 Storage provides the following advantages:
•Efficiently maximizing resources through file and data management without increasing costs.
•Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Microsoft management integration, including Microsoft
Server Manager and System Center and HPE Systems Insight Manager and iLO (Integrated
Lights Out).
•Each system ships from the factory with preintegrated hardware and preloaded software to
significantly reduce the time and complexity of installation.
For more information about HPE StoreEasy 3000 Storage features, go to:
http://www.hp.com/go/StoreEasy3000
Hardware components
This section provides illustrations of the HPE StoreEasy 3000 Storage hardware components.
StoreEasy 3850 Gateway Storage hardware components
This section illustrates the components and LEDs located on the front and rear panels of the
StoreEasy 3850 Gateway Storage.
The chassis configuration for the HP StoreEasy 3850 Storage system includes two 2u-nodes
(XL190r) installed in an r2600 chassis. The node numbering in the chassis when using 2u XL190r
servers are enumerated as node 1 and node 3 in the r2600 chassis.

* When the LEDs described in this table flash simultaneously, a power fault has occurred.
** Facility power is not present, power cord is not attached, no power supplies are installed,
power supply failure has occurred, or the front I/O cable is disconnected.
*** If the health LED indicates a degraded or critical state, review the system IML or use iLO to
review the system health status.
NOTE: The LEDs of Node 1 and Node 2 are not enabled because the r2600 chassis contains
only two 2U nodes.

Front drive thermal LED
The thermal warning function of the front drive health/thermal LED depends on the iLO 08-HD
Max sensor reading. This function is disabled under these conditions:
•There are no drives in the front drive cages 1 and 2.
•The temperature sensor in one or more front drives has failed.
Under these conditions, iLO shows the 08-HD Max sensor reading as N/A. To view temperature
sensor data, log in to iLO 4 web interface and navigate to the Information→System
Information→Temperatures.
If the 08-HD Max sensor reading shows N/A, observe the following when extending the front
drive cage:
•Do not keep the drive cages out of the chassis for more than 140 sec.
•Keep the drive cages inside the chassis for at least 300 sec before extending them out again.

Systems Insight Display LED combinations
When the health LED on the front panel illuminates either amber or red, the server is experiencing
a health event. Combinations of illuminated Systems Insight Display LEDs, the system power
LED, and the health LED indicate system status.

Software components
Windows Storage Server 2012 R2 Standard Edition comes preinstalled and activated on the HP
StoreEasy 3850 Storage. The system configuration also includes the Initial Configuration Tasks
window, StoreEasy tools, Windows Server Manager, which are used to set up and manage HPE
StoreEasy 3000 Storage.
Software components 15

NOTE: Windows Storage Server 2012 R2 Standard Edition is installed in the Server with a
GUI mode by default. You can switch to Server Core Installation mode. However, the Server
Core Installation mode is only supported on an HP StoreEasy 3000 Storage system when the
operating environment does not require user interaction (such as in a data center). Any activity
that requires the use of a GUI must be done in the Server with a GUI mode. For more information
about installation options, see the Windows Server Installation Options article on Microsoft
TechNet at:
http://technet.microsoft.com/library/hh831786.aspx
To switch to Server Core mode, see “Using Server Core mode” (page 42) for more information.
The Windows Server Manager→Tools→StoreEasy menu provides a collection of HPE and

license validation.
•Reinstall the operating system because of a failure that has permanently disabled it.
NOTE: It is important that you maintain the COA or a copy of the COA license information. In
the event of a system board replacement the COA will be needed to re-establish the license of
the operating system.
