Hot-plug hard drive guidelines

When adding hard drives to the server, observe the following general guidelines:
•
The system automatically sets all device numbers.
•
If only one hard drive is used, install it in the bay with the lowest bay number.
•
Drives should be the same capacity to provide the greatest storage space efficiency when drives are
grouped together into the same drive array.
