To build a disk array, at least two hard disk drives are required. Use the SATA2 cables provided with
the disk array controller (SATA2) for the connection. Remove the cables connected to the hard disk
drives and save them for future use.
IMPORTANT: Use hard disk drives with the same capacity and
performance.
