Storage module drive numbering

When installing components into the storage module, note the following drive numbering:

  • 40 hot-pluggable SFF drive bays:
    • For proper air flow, drives must be populated from back to front. Using the drive numbering image, begin populating bays 33 through 40, and continue to populate back to front, finishing with bays 1 through 8.
    • Drive blanks are not required or provided.
  • 2 hot-pluggable I/O adapter bays:
    • The first I/O adapter must be installed in I/O adapter bay 1.
    • I/O adapter blanks are not required or provided.
    • I/O adapter health status is solid green or solid amber.
