how to install Accortec 900 GB Hard Drive - Internal - SAS (12Gb/s SAS)
- Power down the server or storage chassis and locate an available SAS drive bay or backplane slot that matches the drive’s form factor.
- Insert the Accortec drive into the bay or backplane slot, ensuring the SAS connectors align properly with the backplane or controller. Secure the drive using the chassis mounting mechanism or screws as required.
- Connect the SAS data interface to the drive through the backplane or directly to the SAS controller. If your system supports hot-swap, ensure the backplane and controller are configured to handle hot-swapping.
- Power on the system and access the RAID controller or storage management utility. Initialize the new drive and add it to an existing array or create a new logical volume according to your storage plan.
- Update firmware for the drive and the SAS controller (if available) to the latest versions, then verify health status, SMART attributes, and drive parity information to confirm reliable operation.
- Under the operating system, format and assign the appropriate file system or LUN, and verify performance with a baseline benchmark to ensure the drive meets expected throughput and latency targets.
- Document the installation in your asset management system and monitor drive health as part of routine maintenance to maximize uptime and data reliability.
