Drive bay numbering
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
When the backplane is connected to a storage controller, the drive bay numbering for each drive box starts at
1.
• LFF drive bay numbering: Smart Array controller
