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-a modular (AROC) and type-p standup plug-in storage controllers
• SAS expander card
When the backplane is connected to a storage controller, the drive bay numbering for each drive box starts at
1.
