COMPONENT IDENTIFIERS
Thelibrary’sBlueScaleuserinterfaceandtheXMLcommandinterfaceuse
componentidentifiersforeachdrive,RIM,andF‐QIP.Theseidentifiers
alsoappearinsystemmessages.Thecomponentidentifierisbasedonthe
component’slocationrelativetotheframeanddrivebayassembly(DBA)
whereitisinstalled.
TherelationshipsbetweentheDBAsandthelocationsofthedrivesand
controllersarethesameineachmainframeanddriveexpansionframe.In
amulti‐framelibrary,theframesarenumberedsequentiallyfromleftto
rightwhenviewedfromthefront,beginningwiththeleft‐mostframe
(FR1).
Notes:  Allcomponentidentifiersarenumberedconsecutivelyby
type,startingat1.
 DBAsarenumberedfromthebottomup,withDBA1being
thebottom‐most.
 Drivesarenumberedfromlefttorightandbottomtotopina
DBA,asviewedfromthebackofthelibrary.EachDBAcan
holduptofourfull‐heightdrives.
 Iftheframecontains3DBAsand3TBAs,DBAs3,4,and5
becomeTBAs.
 IftheframecontainsDBAsandshe lv es,theDBAs are installed
fromtoptobottomwithshelve sbelow.
