how to install HPE PM1735 6.40 TB Solid State Drive

• Power down the host system and unplug power sources before handling the drive to prevent damage to components.
• Identify a compatible 2.5-inch drive bay or backplane that supports U.3 (SFF-8639) NVMe drives and provides PCIe NVMe connectivity.
• Open the chassis or storage enclosure, remove any existing drive or tray if replacing, and prepare the PM1735 MU SSD for installation.
• Insert the PM1735 into the drive caddy or backplane connector with the correct orientation, ensuring the edge connectors align securely with the backplane slots.
• Screw the drive into the caddy or mounting brackets as required to secure it in place and prevent movement during operation.
• Reconnect power and data interfaces, then power on the system. Enter the server or storage controller’s management interface to recognize the new drive and verify it is online.
• Update firmware if prompted, and initialize the drive in the operating system or storage management software according to your deployment plan (for example, provisioning as part of a storage pool, RAID configuration, or as a standalone MU device).
• Run standard health checks and SMART diagnostics to confirm drive health, endurance parameters, and that data paths are functioning correctly within your storage environment.
