Installing and removing drives

Your server’s basic configuration includes one optical drive and as many as four SATA or SAS hot-swap hard drives. An optional diskette drive can also be added in place of the hard drive on the left side of the server.

As you prepare to install drives, remember:

•You must install the optional diskette drive in the left converted hard drive bay.

•Before you install a drive, see the drive’s documentation for information on configuring the drive, setting drive jumpers, and attaching cables.

•You may need to configure the drives you install using the BIOS Setup utility. Press F2 at startup to open the BIOS Setup utility.
