When you delete the RAID array, the array configuration information is removed; no data is deleted. See "Deleting an IDE RAID array configuration" on page 53 for instructions. Important: Installation of an I/O expansion card requires removal of the IDE drive installed in IDE connector 2. The I/O expansion card occupies the same space as this IDE drive and replaces it. You cannot install an IDE drive in IDE connector 2 while an I/O expansion card is installed in the blade server. v If the IDE drive installed in IDE connector 2 contains any information that you want to keep, back it up to another storage device. v If the IDE hard disk drive that is installed in IDE connector 2 is part of a RAID array, delete this IDE RAID array configuration before removing the hard disk drive. When you delete the RAID array, the array configuration information is removed; no data is deleted. For information about creating and deleting an IDE RAID array configuration, see the HS20 Type 8832 Installation and User's Guide on the BladeCenter Documentation CD or the BladeCenter T Documentation CD. Figure 24 shows how to install an I/O expansion card on the blade server. The card is installed near IDE connector 2.
