Change Drive Letter
To add, change or delete drive letters, follow the steps below. Before making any changes, thoroughly read the
Express5800/ft series-specific precautions and general precautions for Windows.
Express5800/ft series-specific precautions
When connecting an optional Flash FDD, drive letters may change from A to B or from B to A by switching
CPU/IO modules. This does not affect the operation of the server. Access the Flash FDD with the changed drive
letter.
General precautions for Windows
Drive letter of system volume or boot volume cannot be changed.
Up to 26 drive letters can be used on a computer. "A" and "B" are drive letters for Flash FDD. Generally,
hard disk drives are assigned "C" to "Z", but for network drives, drive letters are assigned in a reverse order
("Z" to "C").
Because many of Windows programs refer to specific drive letters, cautions are required for assigning drive
letters. For example, the Path environment variable specifies a program name and a specific drive letter.
For performing the procedure above, you need to be a member of Backup Operators group or
Administrators group, or you need to have appropriate authorization.
