How to Install HPE P5620 1.60 TB Solid State Drive

Installing the HPE P5620 MU SSD in a compliant server or storage system is straightforward when you follow standard enterprise deployment practices. Before you begin, verify that your server supports U.2 NVMe drives and PCIe Gen4 with an available 2.5" drive bay or backplane slot. Power down the system, disconnect power sources, and discharge static electricity to protect sensitive components. The steps below outline a typical installation workflow for an enterprise environment:

• Power off the server or storage array and place it on a non-conductive surface. Disconnect all cables and peripherals as needed.
• Open the server chassis and locate an available 2.5" drive bay or U.2 backplane slot. If your system uses hot-swap bays, follow your enclosure’s procedures for removing the front bezel and the hot-swap sled.
• Carefully insert the HPE P5620 MU SSD into the drive slot or backplane, aligning the connector with the backplane and ensuring a secure, seated connection. Use screws or the backplane’s retention mechanism as required by your enclosure.
• Reconnect any backplane cables, reseat the drive sled, and reassemble the chassis. Reconnect power and boot the system.
• Enter the system BIOS or RAID/controller management utility to detect the new drive, initialize it if necessary, and configure the desired storage policy and RAID settings. In the operating system, use your preferred disk management tool to format and assign a volume, then install or migrate applications as needed.
