Installation guidelines

The workstation typically ships with an HDD, but additional drives can be added to expand data
storage:
Refer to the service label on the side access panel of your workstation to determine the location of
●
the SAS and SATA ports.
Additional HDDs must be added in a specific sequence, depending on the type of workstation.
●
Once installed, the HDDs are assigned drive letters, with C:\ being the typical boot disk. Drive
●
letters are assigned using the Computer Setup (F10) Utility.
With additional HDDs installed, the workstation boot sequence can be modified so that the
●
workstation boots from one of the additional drives. Boot sequence is specified using the
Computer Setup (F10) Utility.
With additional HDDs installed, you have hard disk space for additional programs, data files, and
●
backup.
The HDD bays are not labeled on the chassis.
