● When using an internal hard disk unit bay conversion kit or a PRIMERGY SX35
Delete all of the current disk array configurations on the array controller which is connected to the
internal hard disk unit bay conversion kit or the PRIMERGY SX35.

array configurations and restore from the backup data.
