So far I know, has the rx2600 the same chasis like the rp34x0.
The rp34x0 has some problems with the LED connector on the disk shelv.
If you have the same problem, your disk signals as bad, but the disk is
still ok. There was only a little mechanic modification on the diskshelv
LED connectors needed, but it depends on the diskshelv and chasis.

It recommend you to open a call at HP.

Yes, you may well want to follow that course and notify your HP
support contact -- this could be a problem with an indicator LED,
or it could also point to a hardware problem with the system or
the storage device.

I'm assuming you are indicating a fault light on the drive itself,
and not the system fault light. If it's the system fault light,
that can activate -- yellow or read -- because of various things
logged into the system event log, or (obviously) due to system
errors.

A brute-force way to clear the system event log (and the light)
-- if that is the light here -- is the clearlogs SEL command, at
the Shell prompt. This erases the entire contents of the logs,
and can and will cause potentially important error information
-- if any happens to have been logged in the SEL -- to be erased.
