Default configuration settings are sufficient for proper typical server operation, but configuration

power-up.

During the power-up sequence, the system ROM automatically configures the entire system
without needing any intervention. During this process, the ORCA utility, in most cases,
automatically configures the array to a default setting based on the number of drives connected
to the server.
