Connecting Hard Drives for RAID
The hard-drive bays provide space for up to four SATA hard drives. The hard drives must be connected to a CERC SATA RAID controller card or SATA daughter
card.

The drive or device from which the system boots is determined by the boot order specified in the System Setup program. See "Using the System Setup
Program" in your User's Guide. To boot the system from a hard drive or drive array, the drive(s) must be connected to the appropriate controller.
