the product QuickSpecs on the HP Product Bulletin website (http://www.hp.com/go/productbulletin).
CAUTION: In systems that use external data storage, be sure that the server is the first unit to be
powered down and the last to be powered back up. Taking this precaution ensures that the system
does not erroneously mark the external drives as failed when the server is powered up.
