numbers
When adding SAS hard drives to the server, observe the following general
guidelines:
• The server supports eight SAS or SATA hot-plug hard drives.
• The system automatically sets all drive numbers.
• If only one hard drive is used, install it in the bay with the lowest number.
• Hard drives must be SFF types.
• Drives must be the same capacity to provide the greatest storage space efficiency
when drives are grouped together into the same drive array.
