4.0 Determining Drive and Sled Designations

The Diamond Storage Array has been designed with 12 sleds, each holding two drives. The easiest way to configure a array is to use all the drives on all the sleds. The firmware uses a numbering system to determine which drives and sleds it is affecting.

We recommend that all sled slots are filled

contiguously, starting with the first slot next to the
