Installing an IDE drive option

Your blade server has two connectors on the system board for installing an optional
2.5-inch HS20 IDE Hard Disk Drive or BladeCenter Flash Disk Drive.
Note: In this document, both types of drives are referred to as IDE drives.
Each IDE connector is on a separate bus. Depending on your blade server, at least

These two IDE hard disk drives can be used to implement and manage redundant

Windows 2000 operating systems. See "Configuring an IDE RAID" on page 52 for
