How to install Accortec 3 TB Hard Drive

• Power down the server or storage array and disconnect from power. Ground yourself to prevent static discharge before handling the drive.
• Open the drive bay or hot-swap enclosure and prepare the available 3.5" bay for installation. Verify clearance and mounting provisions match your chassis.
• Remove the blank or replaced drive, then align the Accortec 3 TB SAS drive with the bay. Slide it into the backplane or drive cage until it seats firmly.
• Connect the SAS data cable to the drive’s backplane or controller and attach the power cable to the drive’s power connector, ensuring a secure fit.
• Secure the drive with screws or the enclosure’s locking mechanism, then reseal and reclose the chassis. Reconnect power and boot the system.
• Enter the system BIOS or the storage controller’s management utility to recognize the new drive. Initialize the disk if required and add it to an existing RAID array or format it for direct use in the operating system.
• Monitor SMART attributes and health status through your RAID controller or host OS utilities to maintain ongoing drive health and reliability.
