If you also have drives labeled “B0” and/or “B1” these should go into the two rear-accessible drive bays
from left to right.

Single 16-port RAID Card Configuration
Systems configured with a single sixteen port RAID card are set up differently. In that case, there will be a
single number on the carrier from 0 to 15 indicating the position in the array. Install these as follows
(figure 5):

2.3.2.4
Verifying Correct Drive Seating
Regardless of which drive configuration your system includes, please verify that the drives are fully
inserted before powering on the system. When powering on the server for the first time, verify that the
yellow power LEDs on all drive carriers light up. If a drive power indicator doesn’t light up on power on,
verify that the drive is correctly inserted in the carrier and try again.
2.4 Moving the S3118 Within/Between Racks
If you later need to move the S3118 server, please carefully remove all drive carriers from the unit prior to
moving the unit. Once you have re-racked the server in the new location, reinsert the drives into their
original locations as shown above. This will minimize the risk of damaging the drives and/or drive
backplanes while the system is moved.
