Ph ysical configuration
Depending on the model and version of the OS, each storage server
comes with either two or four Serial Advanced Technology At tachment
(SATA) hard disk drives (HDDs). The sections below describe how these
HDDs are configured for each storage server based on whether two or four
HDDs are installed.
Two-HDD configurations
The two HDDs included with the storage servers are configured for software
RAID fault tolerance using the motherboard SATA controllers.

The drives should not be removed or inserted while the power is on. The
HDDs for the DL100 G2 (Workgroup, 2 drive) are hot-pluggable, but not
hot-swappable. The drives can be removed or inserted while the power is
on, but user intervention is needed to rebuild the arrays.
Microsoft Disk Manager is used to present the HDDs to the system as
dynamic disks. The primary OS logical drive resides on disk 0 and is
mirrored on disk 1. The second ary OS logical drive resides on disk 1 and
is mirrored on disk 0. The data volume is the third logical drive mirroring
the remaining space on disk 0 and disk 1.
