This is a Hitachi UltraStar (HUAnnnnnn...) drive, not a DeskStar (HDAnnnnnn). It should work fine in a Server/RAID configuration.
IT Team, have you gone into the RAID configuration utility to see if the drive is visible there?
From the HGST Website:
How to read the Ultrastar model number HUA722010ALA330 = 1TB, SATA 3Gb/s, 32MB buffer H = HGST U = Ultrastar A = Series prefix 72 = 7200 RPM 20 = Reserved 10 = Capacity this model, 10 = 1TB (50 = 500GB) A = Generation code L = 26.1mm z-height A3 = Interface, SATA 3Gb/s (A6 - SATA 6Gb/s) 3 = 32MB buffer 0 = No BDE
That may well be, from a quick glance of search results ,"deskstar" seemed a common match. I don't use enough Hitachi to decipher the model codes :)
My response stands otherwise though ... if the disk is not certified, all bets are off - there is no guarantee it will work, even if it is an enterprise-class drive. Generic enterprise-class RAID drives are usually a good "bet", but they are still a bet.
Also, installation in the carrier still matters.
Possibility it is actually recognizing the drive but is flagged as foreign ... this will show in the PD MGMT page of the CTRL-R utility.

That is a desktop drive, so there is no guarantee that it will or should work.
Make sure you installed it correctly - use the screw holes closest to the backplane when mounting in the carrier.
