4. Click the File Location tab.
5. Provide the path to the PS Series volume that contains the search indexes in the bottom field for the location of the search index files.
For example, E:\SharePoint Indexes (See the following figure.) In this example, the E:\ drive is a PS Series volume that was
created in advance and logged on the search host. The SharePoint Indexes directory was created to store the search indexes.

Modify Index File Locations in an Existing SharePoint Farm
If you already have a SharePoint farm deployment and can modify its topology, you can change the query and crawl component index
locations using the Central Administration interface after installation.
In an existing farm, by default all three types of search components are on the C:\ drive. You must move these onto PS Series volumes.
However, if you create a new SSA or change the topology of your existing SSA, the components will be placed on the C:\ drive, again by
default, and ASM will ignore those components.
