About S8730 Server configurations
The S8730 Server comes with the option of two hard disk drives. In configurations with two hard
drives, the RAID level 1 feature is enabled, so that disk mirroring automatically creates a
complete set of data on both disks.
For different configurations of the S8730 Server:
If the server has only one hard drive, the drive should be in bay 1 (the leftmost bay)
l
If the server has two hard drives, the drives should be in bay 1 and bay 2.
l
After installation, do not attempt to move a drive from one bay to the other. If movement of
drives is necessary, the server must be reinstalled.
About RAID
One or more hard drives may be added to an S8730 Server in order to take advantage of the
RAID level 1 feature, which provides disk mirroring. In this configuration, a customer's data is
mirrored on two disks, thus increasing the availability of the system. Each of the disks is
independent of each other and contains a complete copy of the data. No administration is
necessary to activate the RAID feature. Once an additional hard drive is installed,
Communication Manager recognizes the additional hard drive and automatically activates
RAID.
Note:
The RAID level 1 feature is only available on S8730 Servers.
