How to install Cisco 1.20 TB Hard Drive - Internal - SAS (12Gb/s SAS)

Installing this internal SAS drive is straightforward in compatible Cisco servers and storage arrays. Follow these steps to ensure a secure, reliable installation that maximizes performance and longevity:

  • Power down the server or storage array and disconnect from any power sources to prevent electrical damage.
  • Identify an available 2.5-inch drive bay or hot-swappable drive tray compatible with your backplane or RAID controller.
  • Open the chassis or slide out the drive tray, ensuring you don’t disturb other components. Remove the existing drive if replacing.
  • Insert the Cisco 1.20 TB SAS drive into the drive tray, making sure the connector aligns with the backplane. Secure the drive tray in the bay until it clicks or is firmly seated.
  • Reconnect the backplane connectors, slide the tray back into the chassis, and secure any retention screws or screws in the tray.
  • Power on the system and enter the RAID or storage management console to verify that the drive is detected and healthy. Initialize and configure as needed for your array or storage pool.
  • If applicable, rebuild or expand your RAID volume to incorporate the new drive, and monitor the array for any SMART alerts or drive health indicators during initialization.
  • Update firmware if required by your Cisco storage environment to ensure optimal compatibility and performance.

Frequently asked questions

  • Q: What applications benefit most from a 1.20 TB 10K SAS drive?
    A: Enterprise databases, virtualization hosts, data warehouses, backups, and high-transaction workloads that require steady IOPS and quick access to large datasets.
  • Q: Is this drive hot-swappable?
    A: Many Cisco server and storage configurations support hot-swapping for SAS drives; consult your chassis or backplane documentation to confirm compatibility and procedures.
  • Q: What should I consider when adding this drive to an existing array?
    A: Ensure compatibility with your RAID controller, verify firmware versions, plan for drive rebuild times, and monitor SMART attributes during integration to avoid unexpected failures.
