# Identifying drives

You can identify the hardware in a server because the light associated with the hardware you selected is flashing.

1. Click any tree object except the following:
   (Managed systems)
   (System)
   (CD-ROM drive)
   (Tape drive)
   (Removable-media drive)
2. Right-click the appropriate Identify.

   The ServeRAID Manager sends a command to the firmware (microcode) to start flashing one or more physical drive lights, depending on the following:

   - The selected tree object
   - Whether the item and its subsystems are all controlled by an enclosure device
3. Click OK to stop the drive lights from flashing.
