NVMe Storage Drive Virtual PCIe Slot Designation
If NVMe storage drives are installed, they are labeled on the system front panel as NVMe0,
NVMe1, NVMe2, and NVMe3. However, the server BIOS internally identifies these drives
by their virtual PCIe slot numbers. When using operating system commands to power NVMe
drives off before removal, you need to know the virtual PCIe slot number of the drive.
The following table lists the drive front panel label and its corresponding virtual PCIe slot
number used by the operating system.
