Adding more Hard Disks Porliant ML530

Eaa97 — Sat, 17 Apr 2004 06:15:36 GMT

I've just been assigned a Porliant ML530 G2 server (Win2K3 Server) with RAID 1 and Raid 5 setup on it.

The RAID 5 has only 15GB remaining. It currently has Bay A full. How can I add more drives to Bay B? what problems I might face.
