How to install Cisco 1.80 TB Hard Drive

• Power down the server and unplug it from the power source. Ground yourself to avoid static discharge before handling the drive.
• Identify an available 2.5" drive bay that is connected to a SAS backplane or RAID controller compatible with 12Gb/s SAS drives.
• Mount the drive into a hot-swappable tray or directly into the chassis, securing it with the appropriate screws or latches per your server’s design.
• Connect the SAS data and power backplane cables to the drive or insert it into the hot-swap cage, ensuring the connectors are firmly seated.
• Insert the drive into the bay until it latches securely. Reconnect power and resume server operation.
• Power on the server and enter the RAID controller BIOS or operating system storage manager. Detect the new disk, run any available health checks, and initialize or add the drive to an existing RAID array as required.
• Update drive firmware if a newer version is available and verify that the OS or storage controller recognizes the drive without errors. Establish ongoing monitoring for SMART status and drive health to maintain data integrity.
