RE: install second hard drive in in existing server

Hi Cooper,

Thanks for posting here.

From your post, I understand that you want to know how to add the second
hard disk in the server. If I am off base, please feel free to let me know.

Based on my knowledge, you need power off the server and install the second
hard-disk, power on the server and use the Disk Management to configure the
second hard-disk. For more information, please refer to the following
knowledge base articles:
