Note – Configuring the Sun Fire X4150 Server RAID is optional, by default the Windows Server 2003 R2 Pre-Install image is configured in a non-RAID configuration. If anything other than a basic Mirror RAID is required, it is recommended to perform a fresh install of the Windows Server 2003 R2 Operating System (or other OS) in the desired RAID configuration.
