Hard Disk Drive Numbering

The HDDs of each 4x backplane are numbered from bottom to top in ascending order.
If two backplanes are in use and both are connected to the same controller, the lower four drive 
bays are connected to ports 0 to 3, while the upper four drive bays are connected to ports 4 to 7.

Per default, the HDDs numbers and positions are as follows:

The HDDs of each 8x backplane are numbered from top to bottom in ascending order.
