T710 seagate constellation.2
Hi all,
I would like some help please?
So I have a T710 with 16 drive bays and 32GB ram. This is running ESXi 6.7. I bought this from eBay not long ago for me to learn in a home lab environment.
It has 12 drives filled up with 600GB HP SAS disks that just worked out the box (well the box from eBay LOL) but I have been given 4x 1TB Seagate Constellation.2 disks and when I put them in the spare disk bays all I get is the power light and no flashing or activity.
When I reboot the server and go a CTRL-E to get into the raid configurations the new disks aren't even showing up?
I'm totally new to all this so please be gentle. Can you help me get my disks recognised please?
This is the info I have on the disks:

Fusion1275,
The Ctrl-E prompt you mentioned is for the iDrac, which will only have limited raid information. If you have a raid controller installed in the server you should see a CTRL-C or CTRL-R prompt, depending on the controller installed (as seen on page 11 here).
If you access the controller, and then go to the Physical Disks page, you should see the drives.
Let me know what you see.
