Hardware and Software Prerequisites
Before proceeding, complete the physical installation of your system, including
cabling. For installation procedures, see
“Inserting the Server Module” on page 13
.
You might also want to configure the disk drive holding the Windows operating
system as part of a RAID array. As shipped, this drive is not configured for RAID. To
make the disk part of a RAID array while preserving the data on the drive, add the
drive to a mirrored RAID set (also known as hardware RAID Level 1).
When a Sun Blade RAID 5 Expansion Module is installed, SAS drives can be
installed in disk slots 0 through 3. These disks can be configured as RAID 0, 1, 5, or
10.
For more information, see the
Sun Intel Adaptec RAID User’s Guide
.
Note –
On servers equipped with a Sun Blade RAID 5 Expansion Module, you must
use the BIOS configuration utility described in the the
Sun Intel Adaptec RAID User’s
Guide
. to initialize your hard drives before you can install an operating system.
