For Networking Choice server models, the embedded NIC ports are not equipped on the server. Therefore, the NIC LEDs on the Systems
Insight Display will flash based on the FlexibleLOM network port activity. In the case of a dual‑port FlexibleLOM, only NIC LED 1 and 2
will illuminate to correspond with the activity of the respective network ports.
When the health LED on the front panel illuminates either amber or red, the server is experiencing a health event. For
more information on the combination of these LEDs, see Systems Insight Display combined LED descriptions.

IMPORTANT: If more than one DIMM slot LED is illuminated, further troubleshooting is required. Test each bank of
DIMMs by removing all other DIMMs. Isolate the failed DIMM by replacing each DIMM in a bank with a known
working DIMM.

When the system maintenance switch position 6 is set to the On position, the system is prepared to restore all configuration settings to
their manufacturing defaults.

When the system maintenance switch position 6 is set to the On position and Secure Boot is enabled, some configurations cannot be
restored. For more information, see Secure Boot.
DIMM label identification
To determine DIMM characteristics, see the label attached to the DIMM. The information in this section helps you to use
the label to locate specific information about the DIMM.

Drive bay numbering
Drive bay numbering depends on how the drive backplanes are connected:
• To a controller:
◦ Embedded controllers use the onboard SATA ports.
◦ Type-a controllers install to the type-a smart array connector.
◦ Type-p controllers install to a PCIe riser.
• To a SAS expander:
Installs in the primary or secondary PCIe riser
Drive bay numbering: Smart Array controller
When the drive backplane is connected directly to a storage controller, then each drive box starts at 1. The following
images are examples of common configurations.

Drive bay numbering: SAS expander
Drive numbering through a SAS Expander is continuous:
• SAS expander port 1 always connects to port 1 of the controller.
• SAS expander port 2 always connects to port 2 of the controller.
• SAS expander port 3 = drive numbers 1 to 4.
• SAS expander port 4 = drive numbers 5 to 8.
• SAS expander port 5 = drive numbers 9 to 12.
• SAS expander port 6 = drive numbers 13 to 16.
• SAS expander port 7 = drive numbers 17 to 20.
28
Component identification
• SAS expander port 8 = drive numbers 21 to 24.
• SAS expander port 9 = drive numbers 25 to 28.
Common configuration examples:
NVMe drives
When any stacked 2 SFF drive cage is connected to the SAS expander, the drive numbering skips the second number. For
example, when a rear 2 SFF drive cage is connected to SAS expander port 9, then the drive numbers are 25 and 27.
When the front 24 SFF bays are populated, any installed rear 2 SFF drives are always 25 and 27.
Universal media bay
If a 2 SFF drive cage is connected to SAS expander port 3, then the drive numbers are 1 and 3.
