how to install HGST Ultrastar DC HC570 22TB SAS Internal Hard Drive

To install this drive in your data center or server environment, follow these best-practice steps to ensure proper recognition, reliability, and performance:

• Verify compatibility with your server chassis or backplane, ensuring a 3.5-inch drive bay and a SAS backplane/controller that supports 12Gb/s SAS drives.
• Power down the system and unplug from all power sources, following your facility’s safety and anti-static guidelines.
• Open the chassis or backplane tray, remove any existing drive if upgrading, and prepare the bay for the new HGST Ultrastar DC HC570 drive.
• Insert the drive into the drive bay until it seats firmly, then reconnect the SAS data cable and power supply to the backplane or controller using the system’s standard cabling.
• Power on the system and use the RAID controller or operating system storage manager to detect the new drive. If necessary, initialize the drive and configure it as part of a new volume or as an addition to an existing array.
• Format the volume according to your organization’s data protection, performance, and capacity planning guidelines, and assign appropriate logical unit numbers (LUNs) or RAID groups as required.
• Monitor health and SMART attributes through the controller’s monitoring tools, and apply firmware updates as recommended by HGST to maintain reliability.
