How to Install Accortec 600 GB Hard Drive

Installing the Accortec 600 GB SAS hard drive is a straightforward process that fits typical data-center upgrade workflows. Follow these general steps to ensure a smooth deployment in a compatible server or storage array:

• Power down and prepare: Ensure the server or storage enclosure is powered down and unplugged. Ground yourself to prevent static discharge before handling any components.
• Open the chassis/drive cage: Remove access panels or slide-out drive bays as required by your system’s enclosure. Identify an available 2.5" SAS bay for the new drive installation.
• Insert the drive: Align the drive with the tray or sled and slide it into the SAS backplane or drive cage until it is firmly seated. Secure the drive with screws or latching mechanisms as specified by the enclosure.
• Connect data and power: Attach the SAS data connectors and the power cables to the drive or backplane. Ensure the connections are snug and fully seated to establish a reliable interface.
• Initialize and configure: Power on the system and enter the RAID/controller utility or operating system disk management tools. Initialize the new drive, assign a storage pool or volume, and format as needed for your application. If integrating into an existing array, follow your array’s expansion procedure to incorporate the new capacity.
