Technical rules for drives
Understanding the technical rules for drives helps you correctly install and configure drives in the system.
Drive installation rules
The following rules for drives provide information that you must consider when you install a drive.
General rules
1. The drive bays are numbered to indicate the installation order (starting from number “0”). Follow the
installation order when you install a drive. See
“Front view” on page 19 for more details.
2. The drives in a single RAID array must be of the same type (as in hard disk drives, solid-state drives, and
so on), same size, and same capacity.
3. If your server comes with rear drives, always install the rear backplane first. The drive installation should
be rear drive bay 16 → 17, and then front drive bay 0 → 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 5 → 6 → 7 → 8 → 9.
Mixing rules
1. You can use drives from different vendors.
