these numbers shown by [x:x:x] in the Physical Drives box. You can view these numbers in the Physical Drives properties.
The Universal RAID Utility identifies Physical Device with a number starting with 1 and ID, Enclosure number, and Slot
number. The numbers of Hard Disk Drives connected to the controller are sorted in ascending order based on ID. The ID has
the same value than the Slot number shown in WebBIOS. Enclosure number and Slot number are assigned with a number
