NOTE:

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

Manager, logical drives 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, refer to "

System installation and recovery

" on page 97.

Data volumes are not carved at the factory or by the System Installation and Recovery DVD, and must

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

Installation and 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.
