There are two different procedures:
• To configure the dual disk of the system disk, refer to the System Disk Dual Configuration
Procedure.
• To configure the dual disk of the data disk, refer to the Data Disk Dual Configuration Procedure.
IMPORTANT: Refer to the following notes:
• The CPU/IO module has a processor function part and an IO function part and monitors and
manages each part. The IO function part is referred to as PCI module in this section.
• Hard disk drives mounted in built-in slots need to be duplexed.
