Drive installation guidelines
When adding drives to the server, observe the following general guidelines:
• The system automatically sets all device numbers.
• Populate drive bays, based on the drive numbering sequence. Start from the drive bay with the lowest
device number ("
Drive numbering " on page 11 ).
• When drives are grouped together into the same drive array, they must be of the same capacity to
provide the greatest storage space efficiency.
