CAUTION If the server is not connected to a UPS, data loss can occur if there is a power failure.
8. If your server does not have an internal RAID disk array, go to "Prepare for Windows NT
Setup" later in this chapter to prepare to start and configure the system.
WARNING Do not turn on system power until you are ready to configure Windows NT Server. If
you start the system, and then restart it before completely configuring Windows NT
Server, you will have to re-install Windows NT Server as described in Chapter 5,
"Installing System Software."
9. If your server has an internal RAID disk array, install the RAID disk drives as described
in "Installing the RAID Disk Drives."

Installing the RAID Disk Drives

To install the RAID disk drives:
1. Remove the RAID disk drives from the carton labeled "This box contains hard disks
loaded with operating system software...." Each of the boot drives (containing the
operating system) is labeled with a drive ID number: ID 0, ID 1, and ID 2.
2. Install the boot drives into the internal RAID slots as follows: drive ID 0 into slot 1, drive
ID 1 into slot 2, and drive ID 2 into slot 3. Refer to the following figure.
3. For each RAID disk drive, extend the latching clips on the disk drive and align the rails
on the side of the drive with the metal slot guides. Push the drive between the latching
clips until it slides all the way into the slot and firmly engages the connector. Close the
latching clips to lock the drive in the slot. Refer to the following figure.
4. Label the remaining drives and install them into the empty slots as follows: drive ID 4
into slot 4, drive ID 5 into slot 5, and drive ID 6 into slot 6.
NOTE ID 3 is reserved for the entire RAID subsystem, so there is no label for this ID.
5. Go to "Prepare for Windows NT Setup" to prepare to start and configure the system.
WARNING Do not turn on system power until you are ready to configure Windows NT Server. If
you start the system, and then restart it before completely configuring Windows NT
Server, you will have to re-install Windows NT Server as described in Chapter 5,
"Installing System Software."
6. If your system includes external InterRAID disk array cabinets, refer to the InterRAID
documentation for instructions to connect them to your system. Connect the external disk
array cabinets after completing the operating system installation.
