How to install HPE 1.60 TB MU SAS SSD

• Power down the server and follow your facility’s ESD precautions. Verify you have a compatible 2.5" drive bay and SAS backplane available for replacement or expansion.
• Remove the existing drive from the designated bay or prepare the empty slot for the new MU SSD. If the server uses hot‑swap bays, unlock and slide out the drive carrier as per your server’s maintenance manual.
• Align the HPE 1.60 TB MU SAS SSD with the drive carrier, slide it into the 2.5" bay, and secure it with the appropriate screws or latches. Ensure the SAS interface connector is firmly seated in the backplane.
• Power the system back on and enter the server management interface (such as iLO or the equivalent) to confirm the drive is detected. If firmware updates are advised, apply them through the management console or the vendor’s utility.
• Configure the drive in the desired RAID or storage pool, then run any recommended health checks or SMART monitoring. Validate performance and monitor the drive for stability under typical workloads to ensure the MU design delivers expected throughput and reliability.
