Hello,

Can you select which of the two HD is going to be bootable by default?

In server which is the boot HD by default? The bottom or the upper? If I replace the upper with a SSD can I select that one as default boot disk?

Is it also possible to download lion from internet if there is no operating system in HDs?

Thanks

I just replaced the HD with SSD and then while booting hit cmd-R. It downloaded mac os and everything installed fine.
 
Will changing this setting make the system move the relevant system files from one disk to the other (to enable startup) - or do you have to do that manually?

No, if you point it to a Startup disk that is not bootable, it's not going to boot.
Actually, Lion should let you know that is a disk is not bootable in System Pref anyway.
