installed in the server are labeled as Device 0 and Device 1, from left to right when viewed from the front of the
server.

Hard drive support
The default system comes with a single hard drive, the type and capacity of which varies based on the server
model. Your ProLiant server currently supports the following drive capacities:
• SCSI hard drives – 36- and 72-GB
• SATA hard drives – 80-, 160-, and 250-GB
The SCSI drive and the 80 GB SATA drive options include only the hard disk. Use the HDD carriers and
mounting screws included with your server to install these drives.
The 160- and 250-GB SATA drive options come with a hot-plug HDD carrier. You need to remove the drives from
their default carriers before installing them in the server. Use the HDD carriers and mounting screws included with
your server to install these drives.
