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.
