Installing SAS hard disk drives

Your computer must have the minimum number of SAS hard disk drives installed

for the supported level of RAID below:

v RAID Level 0 – Striped disk array

– Two hard disk drives minimum

– Better performance without fault tolerance

v RAID Level 1 – Mirrored disk array

– Two hard disk drives minimum

– Improved read performance and 100% redundancy

v RAID Level 5 – Block-level striped disk array with distributed parity

– Three hard disk drives minimum

– Data striped at the byte level

– Stripe error correction information

– Better performance and fault tolerance

To install a new SAS hard disk drive, refer to the installation procedure in
