Numbering Sequences

This section describes the numbering sequences used in the library for the following:
• Drives—corresponds with the drive sections in rack 1, column 1 of a module.
• FC I/O blade ports—the order of the ports on the I/O blade.
• Ethernet expansion blade ports—the order of the ports on the Ethernet expansion blade.
• I/O management unit—the bays within the unit.
These sequences are used to determine where to locate blades in the I/O management unit and how to
connect drives to blades. See

Drive Numbering Sequence

An example of the numbering sequence for all drives except SDLT-320 SCSI drives is shown in
below.
For information on the library's coordinate system, see

module. Each expansion module must be fully populated before installing any
drives in subsequent expansion modules.
