How to Install HPE 4 TB Hard Drive

• Step 1: Power down the server and disconnect all power sources. Use proper ESD precautions before handling any internal components.
• Step 2: Access the drive bay or hot-swap carrier. If you’re replacing an existing drive, remove the failed disk and prepare the new 4 TB drive by ensuring it is compatible with the carrier or sled in your chassis.
• Step 3: Mount the HPE 4 TB drive into the 3.5-inch bay or hot-swap tray. Secure the drive using the carrier’s screws or latches, following the server’s service manual for the exact procedure.
• Step 4: Connect the SATA data and power cables (or slide the drive into the hot-swap backplane). Ensure a firm connection to prevent intermittent drive failures or disconnects during operation.
• Step 5: Reinstall any modules or covers, reconnect power, and boot the server. In the BIOS/RAID controller management utility, verify that the new drive is detected. Initialize or format the drive as required by your storage configuration (RAID, JBOD, or standalone).
