options switches
When you install a drive CRU in the expansion unit, the drive tray plugs into a printed circuit board called the midplane. The midplane sets the SCSI bus number and ID automatically.
The switch card located on the back of the expansion unit has five external option switches, four internal option switches, and a unit ID switch. It is easier to set these switches before you install the expansion unit in a rack or tower enclosure.
Attention: Always set the option switches while the expansion unit and host server are turned off. Failure to do so will result in loss of data.
