Drive installation guidelines

  • 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 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.

  • The system automatically sets all device numbers.
