NOTE: PowerEdge FX2s supports multiple split dual host mapping configurations. You must select
the desired configuration based on your intended usage.
The following are examples of split dual host mapping configurations.

Drive to storage controller mapping
Your system supports up to sixteen 2.5 inch SAS/SATA hard drives/SSDs.
When you install a storage controller module with a single PERC, all the drives map to the single PERC.
When you install a storage controller module with dual PERCs, the drives in slots 0 to 7 map to PERC 1 or
the primary controller. The drives in slots 8 to 15 map to PERC 2 or the secondary controller.
NOTE: In the split single host storage mode, the storage controller enumeration in the PERC BIOS
Configuration (Ctrl+R) utility is different from the enumeration in the iDRAC and Human Interface
Infrastructure (HII) interfaces. In the Ctrl+R utility, the secondary controller is listed before the
primary controller. It is recommended that you review the Ctrl+R slot information detail to
determine the appropriate controller. For example, Slot 0x31, where 3 refers to the storage sled slot
number and 1 refers to the controller 1. Similarly, in Slot 0x32, 3 refers to the storage sled slot
number and 2 refers to controller 2.
