Environmental RequirementsThe 861688-B21 HPE 3TB 7.2K RPM 6GBPS SATA 3.5 Inch LFF Midline Hard Disk Drive is designed to operate in a wide range of environmental conditions. However, to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the device, it is important to consider the following environmental requirements:
- Temperature: The drive is designed to operate within a temperature range of 5°C to 55°C (41°F to 131°F). It is important to ensure that the operating temperature is within this range to prevent damage to the drive and ensure optimal performance.
- Humidity: The drive is designed to operate within a relative humidity range of 5% to 90% non-condensing. Excessive humidity can cause corrosion and other damage to the drive, so it is important to maintain proper humidity levels.
- Altitude: The drive is designed to operate at altitudes up to 3,048 meters (10,000 feet) above sea level. It is important to consider altitude when selecting a location for the drive, as operating at higher altitudes can affect the performance and reliability of the device.
- Vibration: The drive is designed to withstand normal levels of vibration in a server environment. However, excessive vibration can cause damage to the drive, so it is important to ensure that the drive is installed in a secure location.
- Shock: The drive is designed to withstand normal levels of shock in a server environment. However, excessive shock can cause damage to the drive, so it is important to ensure that the drive is installed in a secure location.
The 861688-B21 HPE 3TB 7.2K RPM 6GBPS SATA 3.5 Inch LFF Midline Hard Disk Drive is designed to be easy to install and configure. However, it is important to follow a few best practices and steps to ensure a successful installation and proper configuration.
- Preparation: Before installing the drive, ensure that the server is powered off and unplugged. It is also important to follow proper ESD (electrostatic discharge) precautions to prevent damage to the drive.
- Physical Installation: The drive is designed with a 3.5-inch form factor and a large form factor (LFF) interface, making it easy to install in a server or storage array that supports this form factor. Simply remove any empty drive bays, slide the drive into the bay, and secure it with screws.
- Connecting the SATA Cable: Once the drive is physically installed, connect a SATA cable between the drive and the server's motherboard. This will provide the drive with power and allow it to communicate with the server.
- Configuring the Drive: After the drive is installed and connected, it will need to be configured in the server's BIOS or operating system. This may involve creating partitions, formatting the drive, and configuring it as a boot or data drive. The specific steps will depend on the server's operating system and the configuration desired.
- Verifying the Installation: After the drive is installed and configured, it is important to verify that it is functioning properly. This can be done by checking the server's event logs, checking the drive's S.M.A.R.T. status, or running a diagnostic tool to check for any issues.
