RE: 5887 and 5877 Serial number tag location for labeling purposes

["Steinmetz, Paul" <PSteinmetz@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The 5887 Disk expansion drawer serial number are on the bottom back lip, needed a camera with zoom to read them.

The 5877 PCI drawer serial numbers are the front right side, behind the plastic covers. Plastic covers had to be removed to read them.

Sorry was thinking wrong drawer. These are on the lower lip of the thing beneath the power supply. Flat. Do not use the labels on the SAS cans!
