Assuming a smartport card in slot 5 the mapping is as follows:

drive 1	-> S5,D1
      2 -> S5,D2
      3 -> S2,D1
      4 -> S2,D2

If smartport not in slot 5 or a disk card is in slot 2 then ignore lines 3 & 4
(and change S5 to the appropriate slot #).
If you are using P8 V2.x.y then drives over 2 (or 4 if in slot 5) will be re-
mapped into unused slots making it difficult to work out.
