Before you begin, review the following hard disk drive installation rules:
• Follow the order of the hard-disk-drive bays when installing a hard disk drive. See "Front view of the
server" on page 16 to locate the hard-disk-drive bays in your server.
• For RAID configuration, the hard disk drives must be the same type with the same capacity if they are
within a single RAID array. For more information, see "Configuring RAID" on page 76.

hard-disk-drive bays as well as the order from the lowest capacity to the highest capacity.
