When using MegaRAID BIOS or Power Console, the program identifies the drives as Ax-N.
Ax represents the array within the cabinet that the drives are a part of, and N represents the
sequence number within the array.

For detailed information about using the MegaRAID BIOS or Power Console, refer to the
InterRAID documentation.
The following table shows the correlation between the standard disk drives, their bay
location, drive label, and how they are identified in MegaRAID BIOS and Power Console
(MegaRAID ID).
