Use of Internal Hard Disk Drives in the RAID System
This section describes how to use the Hard Disk Drives installed in the HDD cage at the front of the server in
the RAID System.
Important If you use Hard Disk Drives in the RAID System or change the RAID level,
initialize the Hard Disk Drives. If the Hard Disk Drive used in the RAID
System contains valuable data, be sure to backup the Hard Disk Drive
before installing the RAID Controller and configuring the RAID System.
Note
In the RAID System, use Hard Disk Drives that have the same specifications
(capacity, rotational speed, and standard) for each Disk Array.
Tips
Logical Drives can be created even with only one Physical Device.
To build a RAID System, change jumper switch settings on motherboard and backplane, as shown below.
