12 (including twelve NVMe PCIe SSDs), 24, 25 hard disks
respectively.
16 Heat sinks Dissipate heat from CPUs. Each CPU is configured with one heat
sink.
22 SATADOM A quick memory storage media unit that features high energy
efficiency and stability. It can be a SATA SSD or SATADOM
electrical hard disk.
SATADOMs use flash memory to store data. Currently, NAND flash
memory is mostly used in the industry. NAND flash memory stores
electrons on the floating gate to store data. However, electrons
frequently passing through the floating gate will weaken the gate's
ability to store electrons and eventually make the gate unable to store
electrons. This problem is common to NAND flash memory. The
amount of service data to be written needs to be assessed to prevent
component failures.
NOTE
l If the SoftRAID function is enabled on the server, the STATADOM
supports SoftRAID, which supports RAID 0 and RAID 1.
l A SATADOM can be used only as a boot disk for Linux OSs.
l SATADOMs have weak endurance and cannot be used as data storage
devices. Use enterprise-level HDDs or SSDs to replace SATADOMs for
data storage when frequent data erase operations are involved.
l Installing write-intensive service software on SATADOMs will accelerate
the write life consumption and result in perpetual damage of SATADOMs.
SATADOMs cannot be used for such services.
l SATADOMs cannot be used in cache scenarios.
l SATADOMs and built-in driver SATA ports are exchangeable.

----End
Procedure
Step 1 Open the command terminal on the OS, run the cd /sys/bus/pci/slots and ll commands to
query a list of slot IDs, as shown in Figure 9-17.
Step 2 Run the cat /sys/bus/pci/slots/$slot/address command to obtain the bus IDs that map to the
slot IDs, and record all bus IDs. As shown in Figure 9-18, slot 8 maps to bus ID 0000:81:00.
In the command, $slot indicates the slot ID of a hard disk. The value range is the list of slot
IDs queried in Figure 9-17.
Step 3 Run the ls -l /sys/class/block/ command to query the mapping between NVMe PCIe SSD
drive letters, PCIe bus IDs, and 80 IDs in /sys/class/block/. See Figure 9-19.
Obtain the mapping between slot IDs and drive letters of NVMe PCIe SSDs according to the
mapping between slot IDs and bus IDs in Step 2. For example, drive letter nvme0n1 maps to
bus ID 0000:81:00.0 and 80 ID 0000:80:02.0. According to Step 2, drive letter nvme0n1
maps to slot ID 8.
Figure 9-19 Mapping between NVMe PCIe SSD drive letters, PCIe bus IDs, and 80 IDs
NOTE
In theory, the slot IDs queried in Step 1 are consistent with the slot IDs (8 to 11) marked on the server.
However, they may differ due to a system difference. If the slot IDs differ, obtain the required slot ID on the
server according to the value of dev.func ID (for example, dev.func ID of 0000:80:02.0 is 02.0) in the
mapping 80 ID in Step 3.
