Before You Begin
NOTICE: Before you attempt to remove or install a drive while the system is
running, see the documentation for the optional SAS RAID controller card to ensure
that the host adapter is configured correctly to support hot-plug drive removal and
insertion.
NOTE: It is recommended that you use only drives that have been tested and
approved for use with the SAS backplane board.
You may need to use different programs than those provided with the
operating system to partition and format the hard drives.
NOTICE: Do not turn off or reboot your system while the drive is being formatted.
Doing so can cause a drive failure.
