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.
- All drives grouped into the same drive array must meet the following criteria:
- They must be either all SAS or all SATA.
- They must be either all hard drives or all solid-state drives.
- Drives should be the same capacity to provide the greatest storage space efficiency when drives are grouped together into the same drive array.
