How to install Accortec 1.20 TB Hard Drive

Installing the Accortec 1.20 TB SAS hard drive is straightforward in any compatible enterprise server or storage system. Follow these steps to ensure a proper, secure installation and optimal performance:

1) Power down the system and disconnect from power. Ground yourself to avoid static discharge before handling any components. Keep the drive in its anti-static packaging until you’re ready to install.

2) If using a drive tray, remove the tray from the server or storage chassis. Align the Accortec drive with the tray, then secure it using the appropriate screws. Ensure the connectors on the back of the drive align with the tray’s connectors.

3) Slide the drive (in its tray or directly) into the available 2.5-inch drive bay or backplane slot. Confirm a firm, full engagement with the backplane’s SAS connector and the power interface. If needed, reconnect the backplane cables to the drive in the correct orientation.

4) Reinstall the drive tray into the chassis or rack. Lock the tray in place if your system uses a latching mechanism. Power up the system and let it initialize. The SAS controller or RAID controller should detect the new drive automatically.

5) In the system BIOS/UEFI or RAID management software, verify the drive presence and set up any required RAID configuration or disk initialization. Once recognized, format and assign the drive to its intended pool or volume within the operating system. For best results, follow your organization’s storage provisioning guidelines and verify data integrity after initial load.

Tips for optimal installation success:

• Consult your hardware vendor’s documentation for drive compatibility with your SAS backplane or RAID controller.
• If you’re expanding an existing array, plan capacity and redundancy to maintain service levels during rebuilds.
• Use hot-swap capable backplanes when possible to minimize downtime during maintenance or upgrades.
• Monitor drive health after deployment with your preferred monitoring tools to catch early signs of wear or performance degradation.
• Store and transport the drive using anti-static packaging and handle it by the edges to protect circuitry.
