The DO N ’T ERASE logical disk supports the recovery process only and does not host a secondary
operating system. If the operating system has a failure that might result from corrupt system files, a corrupt
registry, or the system hangs during boot, refer to "System installation and recovery" on page 97.
Data volumes are not carved at the factory or by the System Installation and Recovery DVD, and must
be configured manually by the end user. Be sure to back up your user data, and then use the System
Installation and Recovery DVD to restore the server to the factory default state as soon as conveniently
possible.
Default boot sequence
The BIOS supports the following default boot sequence:
1. DVD-ROM
2. HDD
3. PXE (network boot)
Under normal circumstances, the storage servers boot up from the OS logical drive.
• If the system experiences a drive failure, the drive displays an amb er disk failure LED.
• If a single drive failu re occurs, it is transparent to the OS.
