RAID Configuration
Refer to the section in accordance with your disk form factor and RAID configuration.
Up to six 2.5-inch Drives
Up to eight 2.5-inch Drives
NOTE:
Up to four hard drives can be installed in the Embedded SATA configuration.
Hot plug insertion/removal are not supported in the Embedded SATA configuration.
All drives within a RAID array should be of the same type, capacity and rotation speed.
Use the same rotational speed of the SAS hard drives.
To configure a large-capacity RAID array, it is recommended to configure in RAID 6 or RAID 60 in
order to minimize the risk of becoming multiple hard drives failure during the RAID rebuilding process.
Up to two kinds of drives can be mixed in one system
For mix configuration, the same kind of hard drives are mounted starting with Slot 0 sequentially, and
the remaining slots can mount different kind of hard drives.
For SAS and SATA hard drive mix configuration, they must be installed in separate drive groups with
multiple of two drives.
For optional RAID controller driver to install Windows Server 2003 R2, download from the NEC
