How to Install Accortec 600 GB Hard Drive
- Prepare your server or workstation by powering down, unplugging from the power source, and discharging static electricity to protect the drive and other components.
- Identify an available 3.5-inch drive bay and ensure your SAS controller or backplane supports dual-port SAS drives.
- Remove the drive tray or sled from the chassis, aligning the drive’s connectors with the backplane and ensuring orientation matches the backplane’s interface layout.
- Insert the Accortec 600 GB SAS hard drive into the drive bay, securing it with screws or mounting mechanism as required by your chassis.
- Connect the dual-port SAS cables to the drive’s two SAS ports, then attach the other ends to the appropriate ports on your SAS controller or backplane for path redundancy.
- Power on the system and enter the server BIOS/RAID controller utility to recognize the new drive. Confirm that the drive is detected and healthy.
- Initialize or add the drive to an existing RAID array as required by your storage strategy. Format and assign a file system in the operating system as needed.
- Monitor drive health, temperature, and performance through your storage management tools. Ensure cooling and airflow are adequate to prevent thermal throttling in dense environments.
