store more data. Several types of drives are available, such as:

In some memory configurations, the 3-3-3 beep code might sound during
POST followed by a blank display screen. If this occurs and the Boot Fail
Count feature in the Start Options of the Configuration/Setup Utility is set
to Enabled (its default setting), you must restart the server three times to
force the system BIOS to reset the memory connector or bank of
connectors from Disabled to Enabled.
5. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to
"Completing the installation" on page 85.
