New disks show as external SCv2020

We've bought some additional disk via Dell to expand our storage.
But when we insert the disks they appear as external devices, any thoughts on how to use them?

 

Thanks!

    Hello hjvdhoek,

    What are the Dell part# that are on the drives?  I want to check and make sure that the drives are Compellent drives? In most cases if a drive doesn’t have Compellent firmware on them they will not show up correctly in DSM.

    Please let us know if you have any other questions.

    Hello Harm Jan,

    You will need to return those drives as they don’t have the correct firmware on them to be read by your SCv2020.  Here is the correct Dell part# that should so on the drives for that size that will work in your SCv2020 DP/N: 3V8VC.

    Please let us know if you have any other questions.
