UEFI Big Drive question

Hi all;

we've just ordered a new server 
(http://www.spectrumservers.com/ssproducts/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=26&idproduct=787)

Originally I tried to simply upgrade an older server with more drive 
space, I installed 6 4TB drives and did a new OS install but the OS 
would not allow me to configure more than 2TB per drive.

Subsequent research leads me to conclude that if the bios supports UEFI 
and the installer boots as such then the installer should see 4TB drives 
without any issues.  I'm also assuming that any server I order today 
(i.e. a more modern server) should ship with UEFI support in the bios.

Are my conclusions above per UEFI correct?


Thanks in advance
