Editing storage sled assignments
You can change the assignments of the device using Edit Assignments option. To edit assignments:
● On the storage Overview page, click Edit Assignments.
The Hardware page is displayed.
● Select the hardware component, and change the assignment. For more information, see Assigning drives to a compute sled.

Viewing hardware details
The hardware components of a storage sled comprise of hard drives, enclosure management modules (EMMs), Field
Replaceable Unit (FRUs), and installed software. To view the details of hardware components in the storage sled:
1. From the Devices drop down, select Storage.
2. Select a storage from the list of the storage devices.
3. On the right side, click View Details.
4. To view the hardware details, click Hardware. The hardware components in the storage sled are displayed at the top of the
Hardware page.
Viewing drive details
To view the list of drives in the storage sled, click Hardware > Hard Drives. You can assign individual hard drive to a compute
sleds. You can update firmware of these drives using iDRAC web interface.
Current Mode—Indicates if the hard drive is assigned to an enclosure or to a single compute node slot.
● Enclosure-Assigned—In this mode, you can assign an entire storage sled to one or more compute node slot.
NOTE: You cannot assign storage when a redundant SAS IOM setup is temporarily degraded to non-redundant state.
NOTE: The storage enclosure is assigned to the slots of the compute slots and not to the sled itself. If a compute sled
is replaced with another sled on the same slot, then the storage enclosure gets assigned to the new sled automatically.
However, if you move the compute sled from one slot to another, you must remap the storage to that sled.
● Drive-Assigned—In this mode, you can select a hard drive slot and assign it to a compute node slot.
CAUTION: Assigning a hard drive to a compute node slot may result in loss of data.
