Drive IDs

This topic provides information about the drive IDs associated with the drive bays.

The hot-swap-drive ID that is assigned to each drive is printed on the front of the server. The following illustrations show the locations of the IDs of the drives. The ID numbers and the drive bay numbers are the same.

Note
  1. When you mix drive backplane configurations, IMM renumbers the drive bay IDs automatically.
  2. When mixing drive backplane configurations, you must install all 1.8-inch solid-state drive backplanes above all 2.5-inch hard disk drive or 2.5-inch solid-state drive backplanes.
  3. If you install a 8x1.8-inch drive backplane assembly, the drive IDs that are indicated on the server front bezel will no longer be valid. Use the drive labels that come with the backplane to renumber the drive IDs on the bezel.
  4. See the following examples and the illustrations in Supported drive backplane configurations for more information.

The following illustration shows an example of the drive bay IDs in sequential order with a 1.8-inch drive backplane and a 2.5-inch drive backplane installed.
