User's Guide The HDD Drives
4.3 For Non-RAID Users
With the exception that you are going to install two Windows bootable HDD drives into
these sockets, in general there is no need to distinguish which socket is primary socket
and vice versa. Below are the three major scenarios:
• One Windows bootable HDD drive: You are at your liberty to use either one of the
two sockets. But primary socket is your preferred choice for the bootable HDD drive.
• One Windows bootable HDD drive and another Windows non-bootable HDD
drive: You are at your liberty to use either one of the two sockets for the bootable
HDD drive. Again primary socket is your preferred choice for the bootable HDD
drive.
• Both HDD drives are Windows bootable: Choose the HDD drive you want to have
the system boot up from and have this drive installed on the primary socket.
