Description

The StorTrends iTX installation begins, but before it proceeds, it will prompt with a message depending on how many notebook hard disk drives are installed. The Intel® Server System SSR212MC2 has a dedicated bay for up to two notebook hard disk drives used to hold the operating system.

If there is only one notebook hard disk drive installed, the system will prompt with a message stating, “Warning!!! Detected a single OS disk for the

StorTrends iTX installation. Any OS disk failure will result in the system becoming unusable. Choose “YES” to continue, “NO” to exit from the installation.
