NOTE:

The hardware RAID configuration information listed for the DL380 G5 applies to all DL380 G5 models

except for the DL380 G5 1.16 TB SAS model.

NOTE:

In the HP Array Configuration Utility (ACU), logical disks are labeled 1 and 2. In Microsoft Disk

Manager, logical disks are displayed as 0 and 1. For HP Smart Array configuration information, see

http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/proliantstorage/arraycontrollers/

.

The DON’T ERASE logical disk supports the recovery process only and does not host a secondary

operating system. If the operating system has a failure that might result from corrupt system files, a corrupt

registry, or the system hangs during boot, see

System recovery

” on page 123.

If the data volume is not carved at the factory or during the installation process, it must be configured

manually by the end user. Be sure to back up your user data, and then use the System Recovery DVD to

restore the server to the factory default state as soon as conveniently possible.

Default boot sequence

The BIOS supports the following default boot sequence:

1.

DVD-ROM

2.

HDD

3.

PXE (network boot)

Under normal circumstances, the storage servers boot up from the OS logical drive.

If the system experiences a drive failure, the drive displays an amber disk failure LED.

If a single drive failure occurs, it is transparent to the OS.
