3. Insert the hard drive all the way into the recorder then push the handle against the hard drive to lock it
into place.
4. Open the Server Administrator application and expand the System Tree.
The new hard drive should be automatically added to the Physical Disks list. The list is typically
available here:
System > Storage > PERC H730P > Connector 0 (RAID) > Enclosure (Backplane) >
Physical Disks

the system to automatically redirect recording to the unused hard drive.
To assign the new hard drive as a hot spare:
a. In the Task list, select
Assign and Unassign Global Hot Spare
.
b. Click
Execute
.
