How to Install HPE 600 GB Hard Drive - 2.5-Inch Internal SAS

• Power down the server according to your maintenance procedures or prepare a hot-swap scenario if your system supports it and you are working in a validated maintenance window.
• Open the chassis or backplane, identify an available 2.5-inch drive bay, and remove the sled or blank if needed.
• Align the drive with the backplane connector and slide it firmly into the bay until it is fully seated; ensure any mounting screws or latches are secured per your chassis requirements.
• Reconnect the SAS interface to the backplane, ensuring a clean, secure connection for reliable data transfer.
• Close the chassis, power on the system, and let the storage controller detect the new drive. Use your RAID or storage management utility to initialize, configure, and assign the drive as part of a logical volume or array as needed.
• Verify the drive appears in the operating system and RAID controller, and perform any recommended firmware updates or health checks to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
