Set Up a Local Storage Drive (HDD, SSD, or RAID Volume) as the Installation Target

1. Ensure that the target hard disk drive (HDD) or solid state drive (SSD) is properly installed and powered on.

   For more information about installing and powering on a HDD or SSD, refer to Servicing Storage Drives (CRU) in Oracle Server X5-2 Service Manual.

2. Ensure that the target drives are configured to suit your environment.

   By default, each physical drive on the server is configured as a logical RAID 0 volume. To implement an alternative configuration, refer to the following resources:
