We recently had a failed HD in our Dell Poweredge R410 server.<br />
<br />
This server is configured with RAID 1 and has 2 x 500GB drives in slot 0 and slot 1.<br />
<br />
After receiving a replacement drive from our support company and installing it, the server does not seem to detect it. &nbsp;It briefly blinks green when inserted, but then nothing happens. &nbsp;If I boot into the SAS utility (CTRL+R I think) it just sees the existing drive in slot 1 but shows slot 0 as &quot;Missing&quot;.<br />
<br />
If I look at the Dell OpenManage application, there is no sign of the new drive in any status, I just see one drive.<br />
<br />
Is there something I can do? &nbsp;Or is this looking like a dead HD?

We recently had a failed HD in our Dell Poweredge R410 server.

This server is configured with RAID 1 and has 2 x 500GB drives in slot 0 and slot 1.

After receiving a replacement drive from our support company and installing it, the server does not seem to detect it.  It briefly blinks green when inserted, but then nothing happens.  If I boot into the SAS utility (CTRL+R I think) it just sees the existing drive in slot 1 but shows slot 0 as "Missing".

If I look at the Dell OpenManage application, there is no sign of the new drive in any status, I just see one drive.

Is there something I can do?  Or is this looking like a dead HD?

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.

Server Hardware

Storage devices include any device used for storing and retrieving digital information. Hard disk drives (HDDs) use one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only sequentially. The primary competing technology for secondary storage is flash memory in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs), but HDDs remain the dominant medium for secondary storage due to advantages in price per bit and per-device recording capacity. CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a digital optical disc storage format that allows information to be stored outside the mechanical HDD.
