4.1 IDE RAID Kit

The AP110 server supports a maximum of four hard disk drives, two external and two internal. The external HDD bays are available for an IDE RAID configuration using the optional IDE RAID Kit.

This chapter tells about external HDD installation using the IDE RAID kit. Refer to Chapter 3 for instructions on internal HDD installation.

NOTE

The IDE RAID kit is optional and does not come with all models. If your server includes a RAID kit, it comes already pre-installed in the chassis.
