Oracle^® Servers X8-2 and X8-2L Operating Systems Installation Guide

Set Up a Local Storage Drive as the Installation Target

1. Ensure that the target drive (HDD, SSD, or RAID Volume) is properly installed and powered on.

   For more information about installing and powering on a hard disk drive (HDD) or solid state drive (SSD), refer to Servicing Storage Drives (CRU) in Oracle Server X8-2 Service Manual or Servicing Storage Drives (CRU) in Oracle Server X8-2L 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:
