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.
• 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.
For drive numbers, see "Drive bay numbering (on page
19 )."
To install the component:
1. Remove the drive blank.
