For certain SIM reference codes, the last three digits of a reference code (in hexadecimal) can be converted to the number of the drive box and drive where the error occurred.

  1. Convert the last three digits of a reference code from hexadecimal to decimal.
    For example, A9E in hexadecimal is 2,718 in decimal.
  2. Divide the the number in step 1 by 64. The quotient is the drive box number and the remainder is the drive number.
    For example, 2,718 / 64 = 42 with a remainder of 30. Therefore, The drive box number is 42 and the drive number is 30.
