RN316 local config file ?

Hi,  We have a RN316 6 bay device in one of our remote offices,

 

The local IT tech  decided to pull the drives and appears not to have installed back in the same slots. 

My question is . 

Does this device have a local config file that details the original slot configuration 

 

ie slot1    serial 12345

slot2        serial 3456

slot 3       serial 7890  etc

    The system should boot and assemble the RAID array anyway.  Is this not happening?

     

    You could try accessing with ssh, and then entering mdadm -D /dev/md127
