    Appendix C: Drive Assignment C.2 Drive Slots Endpoint Mapping Each physical drive is assigned an "endpoint" number that is different from the physical slot number. The following tables provide an overview of endpoint mapping for drive slots in a four-host and eight-host configuration. Optimize drive performance by assigning the drives used by each host across the PCI-E switches (EDSFF trays) and across the bays within each tray (see figure on page 10).
  • Page 68 SuperStorage SSG-136R-NEL32JBF User's Manual C.3 Assigning a Drive from the GUI Drive assignment from the Web GUI requires a computer with access to the network that contains the SSG-136R-NEL32JBF system.
