numbering. When populating internal drives, follow these guidelines:
•
Populate HDDs starting from the lowest-numbered bays to the highest. Populate row 1 – 14, then
row 15 – 28, and so on.
•
Populate internal SSDs starting from the highest-numbered bays to the lowest. Populate bay 56, then
bay 55, and so on.
For example, a system with 36 HDDs and 2 SSDs should have the HDDs in bays 1 – 36 and the SSDs
in bays 56 and 55.
