Hardware options installation
Introduction
If more than one option is being installed, read the installation instructions for all the hardware options and
identify similar steps to streamline the installation process.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the
internal system components to cool before touching them.
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to electrical components, properly ground the server before
beginning any installation procedure. Improper grounding can cause electrostatic discharge.
Drives
The server supports up to four SFF drives.
Drive guidelines
When adding drives to the server, observe the following general guidelines:
•
The system automatically sets all device numbers.
•
If only one drive is used, install it in the bay with the lowest device number.
•
To provide the greatest storage space efficiency when drives are grouped together into the same drive
array, drives must be the same capacity.
