Some operating systems have size limitations for logical drives. Before you save the configuration, you might want to verify that the size of the logical drive is appropriate for the operating system. See the operating system documentation for more detailed information. 3. Typically, the first logical drive defined on the first ServeRAID adapter or controller found by system BIOS during startup will be the startup (boot) drive. Netfinity 5500 M20 - Type 8662 77
