Locating the disks
You can turn on the beacon to identify the box and the bay in which the disk is inserted. The beacon on the disk flashes blue for a duration of one minute. This option is not available for NVMe disks, disks that don't have physical disk ID mapping, or if one logical disk is mapped to multiple physical disks. The page shows the logical disk name in the column and the corresponding physical disk in the column.
