In the installation guide there is a note that says "Drives are loaded in order, starting with number 1, and working from left to right and top to bottom".
For some reason the factory skipped over slots 1-3 and began loading the drives in slot 4, finishing in slot 8??
I'm not sure it really makes much difference, but I wondered if anyone else has seen cases where the installation guide differs from how HP builds them? We aren't using the server yet so I could delete the smart array config and move them around.
Thanks,
Tim

SolutionMakes no difference.
Move the drives to any position that makes you happy and then use the smart array utility built into the bios to set up the raid the way you want. I recommend mirroring the entire boot(vg00) partition.

Re: Drive load order on rx3600
this document tells the opposite:
├В┬╗ Table of Contents ├В┬╗ Index
There are eight hot-pluggable disk drives located in the front of the server. You can replace the hot-pluggable disk drives using the procedures in this section when server power is on or off.
CAUTION: A hot-pluggable device may require interaction with the operating system before you can safely remove it from or install it into the server. Verify that the operating system supports removing and replacing disk drives while the operating system is running. If the operating system does not support this feature, shut down the operating system before removing or installing disk drive. Failure to observe this caution can result in system failure.
NOTE: The replacement disk drive must have the same product number as the disk drive that you replace.
Removing a Hot-Pluggable Disk Drive
To remove a hot-pluggable disk drive, follow these steps:
Push the release tab away from the drive extraction handle and pull the extraction handle outward.
Pull gently until the hot-pluggable disk drive slides out of the chassis.
Figure 6-7 Removing and Replacing a Hot-Pluggable Disk Drive
NOTE: For cooling purposes, always leave disk drive fillers in slots that do not contain a disk drive.
Disk Drive Load Order
Disk drive are loaded in the following order:
1st drive load in Bay 8
2nd drive load in Bay 7
3rd drive load in bay 6
4th drive load in bay 5
5th drive load in Bay 4
6th drive load in Bay 3
7th drive load in bay 2
8th drive load in bay 1
http://docs.hp.com/en/AB463-9003B/ch06s11.html
I guess it doesn't matter if you start with 8 or 1.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Installing a Hot-Pluggable Disk Drive
To install a hot-pluggable disk drive, follow these steps:
Use Figure 3-12 to determine the next available disk drive installation slot.
NOTE: Drives are loaded in order, starting with number 1, and working from left to right and top to bottom.
Remove the disk drive filler if required. See ├в Removing a Hot-Swappable Disk Drive Filler├в .
NOTE: Save the disk drive filler for future use. For cooling purposes, always place disk drive fillers in slots that do not contain a disk drive.
Insert the hot-pluggable disk drive into the slot guides, and slide the drive into the slot until it seats into the socket on the disk backplane.
Close the drive ejector handle by pushing it inward until it clicks into place.
