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 ("Drive numbering" on page
10).
• To provide the greatest storage space efficiency when drives are grouped together into the same drive
array, drives must be the same capacity.
