How to install Accortec 600 GB SAS 2.5" Internal Hard Drive
- Power down the server or workstation and unplug the power cables. Ensure you are grounded to prevent static discharge before handling any internal components.
- Identify an available hot-swap tray or drive bay in the backplane or storage enclosure designed for a 2.5-inch SAS drive. Remove the tray if needed, following your chassis manufacturer’s instructions.
- Place the Accortec 600 GB SAS drive into the drive tray, aligning the connectors with the backplane. Secure the drive with the included screws or latch mechanism according to your backplane’s requirements.
- Slide the tray back into the backplane or enclosure until it seats firmly. Connect the SAS data and power cables as required by the chassis, ensuring cables are neatly organized to prevent interference with fans or other components.
- Power on the system and enter the server’s RAID controller or storage management utility. Initialize the new drive, add it to an existing RAID array if needed, or create a new storage pool. Confirm that the operating system recognizes the drive and that the appropriate drivers are loaded.
- Run a basic health check and, if applicable, perform a low-level format or partitioning according to your deployment plan. Monitor S.M.A.R.T. attributes and system alerts to verify ongoing reliability and performance.
