How to Install HPE 2.40 TB Hard Drive

  • Prepare the server: Power down the system following your data center’s procedures and disconnect the power to prevent any electrical risk during installation.
  • Identify a compatible drive bay: Locate an available 2.5" drive bay or hot-swappable enclosure slot that matches the backplane design of your HP/HPE server or storage array.
  • Insert the drive: Align the drive with the backplane connector and slide it into the bay until it fully seats and, if applicable, the latch or screw mechanism engages to secure it in place.
  • Connect power and data: Ensure the server backplane power and SAS data connections are properly seated. For hot-swap configurations, the drive should be recognized as soon as power is supplied.
  • Verify recognition and health: Power on the system, enter the BIOS/UEFI or storage management utility, and confirm that the drive is detected. Check S.M.A.R.T. data and perform any required firmware updates or array rebuilding as needed.
