Appendix A. Records
Whenever you add optional devices to the DS3500 storage subsystem or EXP3500 storage enclosure, be
sure to update the information in this appendix. Accurate, up-to-date records make it easier to add other
devices and provide needed data whenever you contact your IBM technical-support representative.

The serial number is on the label in the vertical recess on the left bezel. The serial number is also on the

Hard disk drive locations
Use Table A-2 to keep a record of the drives that are installed in or attached to the DS3500 or EXP3500.
