- Locate an available drive bay and slide the drive into it. Make sure that the drive is securely seated and that the connectors are properly aligned.
- Connect the drive’s SAS cable to the controller and secure it with the thumbscrews.
- Power on the server or storage system and check that the drive is recognized in the BIOS or RAID controller.

Reliability of SAS Hard Drive
The reliability of the 36YG1 Dell 2.4TB 10K RPM SAS-12GBPS Hot-swap Hard Drive is generally considered to be high. The drive is designed to meet the demands of enterprise-class servers and storage systems, and it is built to withstand the high-availability and high-performance requirements of these environments.
The drive has a 10K RPM spindle speed, which is faster than the typical 7.2K RPM speed of most desktop hard drives. This high rotational speed results in faster data access, which can reduce the risk of data loss in the event of a power failure.
The drive also features a SAS interface, which provides high-performance, security, and scalability. SAS is a point-to-point interface, which means that each drive has its own dedicated channel to the controller. This improves data transfer rates and reduces the risk of data loss in the event of a drive failure.
The hot-swap feature of the drive allows for easy replacement of failed drives without the need to shut down the system, which helps to minimize downtime.
