Hot-plug SAS and SATA hard drive options

When adding hard drives to the server, observe the following general guidelines:

The system automatically sets all device numbers.

If only one hard drive is used, install it in the bay with the lowest device number ("

SAS and SATA device

numbers

" on page

Hard drives must be SFF types.

Drives should be the same capacity to provide the greatest storage space efficiency when drives are
grouped together into the same drive array.
