Note: If the server is configured for RAID operation using a ServeRAID
adapter, you might have to reconfigure your disk arrays after you
install hard disk drives. See the ServeRAID adapter documentation
for additional information about RAID operation and complete
instructions for using the ServeRAID adapter.
