2.3.2 Notes on Configuring RAID

RAID can be configured with hard disk units connected to the SAS controller on the baseboard.
For available RAID level, configuration of RAID and cautions, refer to "Integrated Mirroring SAS
User's Guide" in the Array Controller Document & Tool CD.
●
Hardware configuration
• Only internal hard disk units can be used.
• Be sure to use hard disk units of the same model and with the same capacity.
●
When RAID-configured hard disk unit is used
Hard disk units that have been used before may have unwanted partition information or array
configuration information, which may cause unexpected problems. If you connect any hard disk units
with usage history to this server, format them at low level on another system before connecting them to
the server. For information on how to format the hard disk, refer to the manual of the system to be used.
