I don't know what release of the OS you're at nor what model AS/400 you have, but there should be info in service tools (STRSST) to show you the frame (cabinet/chassis) and slot number for each drive in the system. Since you have only 4 drives, I'll assume you don't have multiple frames so your frame ID will be 1. Recent systems (7xx/8xx/520/550/570, possibly older ones as well) have an LED for each drive. Again in SST you can do the drive removal and it will blink the LED over the drive in question, making your selection obvious. There's good info about the hardware layout in the system builder (not the system handbook) and info about drive replacement & rebuilding in the backup & recovery guide and any hardware service manuals that cam with your system. I would suggest you get IBM to do the replacement for you if you can spare the expense. If IBM service is too expensive in your area, there may be third party companies that offer equivalent support for less. I also strongly suggest you ensure you have a recent full system save (GO SAVE option 21) in case something does go wrong. John A.
