When using Internal HDD Unit Bay Conversion kit
When an array is configured with internal hard disk units installed in Internal HDD Unit Bay
Conversion kit, delete the array configuration. Once the array configuration is deleted, data in the array
will also be deleted. Make sure that no data exists in the disk before deleting the array configuration. If
any data exists (for example, when reinstalling the OS), back up the data.
After the OS is installed, reset the array configuration, and recover the backup data.
Installing optional external devices
To install an OS with an optional external device connected, check the following points.
• When using PRIMERGY SX35 whose internal hard disk units have an array configuration, delete the
array configuration. Once the array configuration is deleted, data in the array will also be deleted.
Make sure that no data exists in the disk before deleting the array configuration. If any data exists (for
example, when reinstalling the OS), back up the data. After the OS is installed, reset the array
configuration, and recover the backup data.
• When using an external storage system such as ETERNUS, do not turn on the power of the storage
system until the OS installation completes by, for example, unplugging the AC cable.
