I might add that the label is small. Laser printed. Not always in EXACTLY the same place. Usually off to the side and vertical. Remember it's on the chassis not the SAS cans or Power Supplies as it technically relates to the mid-plane of the drawer. You'll need to figure out a way to use a camera to pic the label unless you have perfect eyesight.

You might have to do it the old fashioned way and track back the cables
(remember both ends of the cable have a serial number on them so you don't
really have to trace them) to the adapter card and figure it out that way.
(been there)

While you're at it you can start to document the cable layout for the
intended move since you have to do that anyway. If you have a fine point
marker with you put a card location/port number on each of the labels on the
cable. Now you'll be able to reconstruct the system without too much fuss.

You have a fun day in front of you.

I have multiple 5887 and 5877.
Where can I find the serial number tag locations for labeling purposes?

Thank You
