How to install Accortec 600 GB Hard Drive - Internal - SAS (12Gb/s SAS)

• Power down the host system and unplug power and data cables before handling the drive to prevent static damage or electrical shock.
• Open the server or storage chassis and locate the available SAS drive bay or backplane slot compatible with internal SAS drives.
• Prepare the drive for installation by aligning it with the drive carrier or tray if required, then slide the drive into the backplane until it is fully seated and secured with screws or locking mechanisms.
• Connect the SAS data cable(s) and the power connector to the drive backplane or controller, ensuring proper seating and cable routing to avoid interference with fan blades or other components.
• Power on the system and enter the controller or BIOS/UEFI interface to recognize the new drive. If using a RAID controller, configure the drive as part of a logical array according to your storage policy.
• Run any recommended firmware and health checks through the storage management software provided by the controller vendor. Monitor S.M.A.R.T. attributes and ensure the drive reports healthy before placing it into production use.
