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 ("Drive numbering" on page 15).
• When drives are grouped together into the same drive array, they must be of the same capacity to
provide the greatest storage space efficiency.
Installing a hot-plug drive
CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the server unless
all bays are populated with either a component or a blank.
To install the component:
1. Remove the drive blank.
2. Prepare the drive.
