Identifying Hardware Location String

The Windows Device Manager reports the hardware location in the following format:
CBHSS = value
where value is a numeric string that starting from the left indicates the cabinet number, bay
number, chassis number, and two-digit slot number. For example, CBHSS = 81 107 indicates
cabinet 8, bay 1, chassis 1, and slot 07.
NOTE: The Windows OS does not show leading 0s. For example, if CBHSS = 1 107 is displayed,
it denotes cabinet 0, bay 1, chassis 1, and slot 7.
For BL8x0 i2 server blades, Windows Device Manager shows a decimal value that when converted
to hexadecimal contains the slot number and blade number in the following locations:
Byte 3 Byte 2
N/A Slot #
For example, with HP Integrity EFI Driver, device location 151 191947 (decimal) when converted
is 0x0903018B (hexadecimal), denoting blade 1, slot 3; blade values can range from 0x01 to
0x08. Without the HP Integrity EFI Driver, device location 151256971 (decimal) when converted
is 0x0903FF8B (hexadecimal), denoting blade 127, slot 3; blade value is always 0xFF.
NOTE: HP SIM and HP SMH do the conversion automatically.
Do not open the manual retention latch (MRL) before the LED stops blinking. A fatal
