How to install Accortec 1.60 TB Solid State Drive

• Power down your server or workstation and unplug all power sources to ensure a safe installation environment.
• Open the chassis or access the drive bay, locating an available 2.5-inch drive tray compatible with your backplane or storage enclosure. Remove any existing drive if you are upgrading.
• Mount the Accortec 1.60 TB SSD into the 2.5-inch tray, securing it with the appropriate screws or clips provided by your drive tray kit. Ensure the drive sits firmly and aligns with the backplane connectors.
• Connect the SAS data and power cables (or use the backplane’s hot-swap connectors), ensuring a snug, secure connection. Double-check that the backplane or RAID controller recognizes the new drive upon boot.
• Power on the system and enter the RAID controller or BIOS/UEFI configuration utility. Initialize the new SSD as part of your storage array or as a standalone volume, mapping it to the desired drive letter or volume label in the operating system.
• In your operating system, initialize and format the drive according to your storage policy (e.g., NTFS, ext4, or your preferred file system). If used in a RAID array, configure striping or mirroring as required by your redundancy strategy, and perform a quick health check to confirm proper operation.
• Run any post-install optimization steps recommended by your server or RAID controller documentation, such as aligning the partition, enabling write caching where safe, and applying the latest firmware updates if available. Regular monitoring and firmware maintenance will help sustain performance and reliability over time.
