Compatibility and System Requirements
The 400-AMPL Dell 8TB 7.2K RPM SAS-12GBPS LFF Hard Drive is compatible with a wide range of Dell servers and storage arrays that have a SAS-12GBPS interface. It is specifically designed to work with Dell PowerEdge servers, Dell PowerVault storage arrays, and Dell Compellent storage systems.
To ensure compatibility, it is important to check the specifications of the server or storage array to ensure that it has a SAS-12GBPS interface and that it can support a hard drive of this capacity. Additionally, it is important to check the RAID controller or storage array management software to ensure that it can support a hard drive of this capacity and interface.
In terms of system requirements, the hard drive requires a SAS-12GBPS interface and it is a Large Form Factor (LFF) drive, so it will require a 3.5″ drive bay to install it. It also requires a power connector to function.
It is important to note that the hard drive is a self-encrypting drive (SED) and requires a TCG enterprise-compliant host to function, if the host system is not TCG enterprise-compliant the drive will function as a regular drive and the encryption feature will not be available.
It is also important to check that the operating system and any necessary software and drivers are compatible with the hard drive before installing it. If you have any doubts about compatibility, it is recommended that you contact Dell technical support for assistance.
Installation and setup instructions
The installation and setup instructions for the 400-AMPL Dell 8TB 7.2K RPM SAS-12GBPS LFF Hard Drive will vary depending on the specific server or storage array that it is being installed in. However, the general steps are as follows:
- Power off the server or storage array and disconnect it from the power source.
- Locate the hard drive bay or tray where the new hard drive will be installed.
