Drive bay numbering
CAUTION: When a server is purchased without any drive installed, some drive bays might be empty while other
drive bays might be populated with drive blanks.
To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the server without a drive or a drive blank installed.
Drive bay numbering depends on how the drive backplane is connected. In this server, the backplane can be connected to
the:
• Embedded Smart Array controller through the onboard SATA ports
• Smart Array type-p SR Gen10 controllers
• SAS expander card
When the backplane is connected to a storage controller, the drive bay numbering for each drive box starts at 1.
When the backplane is connected to a SAS expander, all drive boxes are treated as a single box 1. This means the drive
bay numbering is continuous.
• LFF drive bay numbering: Smart Array controller
