You might have to reconfigure the disk arrays after you install hard disk drives.See the RAID documentation on the IBM ServeRAID Support CD for informationabout RAID controllers.2. If you install more than one bootable hard disk drive in the server, you must usethe LSI Configuration Utility program to select the hard disk drive to boot from.For information on LSI Configuration Utility program, see the documentation thatcomes with your ServeRAID controller.Installing a simple-swap hard disk driveThe following notes describe the types of simple-swap hard disk drives that theserver supports and other information that you must consider when you install asimple-swap hard disk drive:v To confirm that the server supports the hard disk drive that you are installing, seehttp://www.ibm.com/systems/info/x86servers/serverproven/compat/us/.v The server supports up to six 3.5-inch simple-swap hard disk drives if you installan optional tape drive.v Start installing the hard disk drives from bay 0.54 IBM System x3755 M3 Type 7164: Installation and User’s Guide
