When we transpose each of the above basic CAGED chord shapes up and down the fret board, we get the following shapes of D major. Note that each chord shape plays only the three notes of the D major triad, viz D-F#-A and with D as the bass note.
1. D major in C major shape, i.e. D major in 2nd position,
Played as - x54232:
2. D major in A major shape, i.e. D major in 5th position,
Played as - x57775:
3. D major in G major shape, i.e. D major in 7th position,
Played as - 10-9-7-7-7-10:
4. D major in E major shape, i.e. D major in 10th position,
Played as - 10-12-12-11-10-10:
5. D major in D major shape itself, which is in nut (open) position,
Played as - xx0232:
And here is a map of the D notes on the fret board to help you understand how they all fit together (the red notes everywhere are D notes and the black ones are F# or A):
