Which slots are these disks in? Is this a new implementation with no configuration / data on the array? Also, have these drives been used in creating any RAID Groups, then moved around?

Hello,
Which slots are these disks in? Is this a new implementation with no configuration / data on the array? Also, have these drives been used in creating any RAID Groups, then moved around?
From the MCx White Paper (https://support.emc.com/docu48786_White-Paper:-VNX2-MCx---Multicore-Everything.pdf?language=en_US):
If a system drive is moved to another slot, VNX2:
1. Marks the system drive as 'removed'
2. Formats and zeros the former system drive in the new slot
a. All data (including the private vault system and user spaces) on the
former system drive will be removed (zeroed)
b. If the moved system drive was a member of a RAID group, the user
space portion will be spared with normal RAID rebuild procedures, after
a 5-minute interval
