IMPORTANT:
<NovaScale/ft Server series-specific precautions>
When connecting a CD-ROM drive or an optional floppy disk drive, drive letters may change from A to B by
switching CPU/IO modules.
When switching CPU/IO modules, an unallocated drive letter is automatically reallocated to the CD-ROM drive
in the order from D to Z. If you want to fix the drive letter of CD-ROM, specify the unallocated drive letter in the
order from D to Z after setting the driver letter of hard disk.
<General precautions for Windows>
Drive letter of system volume or boot volume cannot be changed.
Up to 26 drive letters can be used on a computer. "A" and "B" are drive letters for floppy disk drives. Generally,
hard disk drives are assigned "C" to "Z", but for network drives, drive letters are assigned in a reverse order ("Z"
to "C").
Because many of Windows programs refer to specific drive letters, cautions are required for assigning drive
letters. For example, the Path environment variable specifies a program name and a specific drive letter.
For performing the procedure above, you need to be a member of Backup Operators group or Administrators
group, or you need to have appropriate authorization.
