Determining the proper hot-plug SCSI hard drive installation order
The system reads and manages the hot-plug SCSI hard drives based on the SCSI ID
number assigned to each drive. For optimal hard drive management and performance,
install the hard drives in the order of SCSI ID assignments. Always populate hard
drive bays starting with the lowest SCSI ID.
