Install a Drive or Drive Filler
Installing a drive into a server is a two-step process. You must first install the drive into the
drive slot and then configure that drive to the server.
Note - If you removed an existing drive from a slot in the server, you must install the
replacement drive in the same slot as the drive that was removed. Drives are physically
addressed according to the slot in which they are installed.
1.
