02352WEK and ST2400MM0129: Read Both SAS Drive Labels

Procurement note: Representative examples support identification and procurement planning. Final model, condition, compatibility, evidence, availability, and quotation remain order-specific.

SECTION 01

Record the carrier and base drive separately

An OEM carrier label and a manufacturer drive label serve different identification roles. Copy 02352WEK from the carrier, then copy ST2400MM0129, P/N 1XK203-179 and the visible firmware field from the base drive. Do not assume every carrier marked 02352WEK contains the same drive revision.

• Carrier marking 02352WEK
• Base model ST2400MM0129
• Visible Seagate P/N 1XK203-179
• Visible firmware field

SECTION 02

Use the exact Exos 10E2400 specification

Seagate documents ST2400MM0129 as a 2.4TB model in the Exos 10E2400 family with a 12 Gb/s SAS interface. The carrier uses a 10K shorthand, while the applicable manufacturer data sheet is the technical source for the exact model. Avoid carrying capacity, speed or format fields from a neighboring suffix.

• 2.4TB model identity
• 12 Gb/s SAS interface
• Exact suffix review
• Manufacturer document of record

SECTION 03

Confirm sector format and firmware

The Exos 10E2400 family documentation includes FastFormat context, but the operational format and OEM firmware requirement must be confirmed for the requested line item and target platform. Record the current drive firmware, controller firmware and buyer-required sector format instead of assuming a generic conversion is appropriate.

• Current sector format
• Required sector format
• Drive firmware
• Controller firmware

SECTION 04

Map the Huawei storage path

Provide the exact Huawei server or storage system, controller, backplane, bay and carrier requirement. A matching 2.4TB capacity and SAS connector do not establish support, and a bare drive should not be quoted as a carrier-complete replacement unless that difference is explicit.

• Huawei platform model
• Controller and backplane
• Bay and carrier requirement
• Bare drive or carrier-complete

SECTION 05

Request current order evidence

Ask for a readable label, current condition, requested diagnostics, firmware evidence, carrier photos and packing scope for the quoted unit or agreed sample. Final availability, condition, test scope, packing, and quotation are confirmed per order.

• Readable labels
• Condition and diagnostics
• Firmware and carrier photos
• Quantity and destination
