	and the disk drive modules installed in it either by the location code contained in
	system messages that refer to that unit, or by using the SCSI Device Identification
	and Removal service aid.
	See “Location Codes” in the operator guide for your system for general information
	about location codes.
Linux
	When running Linux, you can identify an Expandable Storage Plus 2104 Model DU3
	and the disk drive modules installed in it by using the “List Configuration” command.
	Consult your Linux operating system documentation for information in how to use
	this command.
