Dell Precision T7610 HDs problem
Hi Everyone,
I have already two HDs (1TB + 2TB) and recently I bought one more - 3TB (I have read that you can connect disk up to 3TB to T7610 motherboard) But unfortunately it is not recognised...
On top of that I am not able to boot my linux 64bit system when this disk is connected....
Probably I am missing something..
Thank you!
Best,
tomek

Hi Akshatha,
Thank you for replay. Unfortunately changing to UEFI did not help.
Maybe I will explain more my case:
I bought Dell Precision T7610 with standard 1TB HD. Which is my main boot disk (I have there Win8 and linux - ubuntu 14.04).
Latter I bought second disk (I am using it as a data storage) - 2TB (SAS-1) - I have not change disk or BIOS setting and it was working OK.
Recently I bought third disk - now 3TB and I am not able to connect it to the workstation... I can't see it in BIOS even.
Any suggestions?
Thank you!
All the best,
tomek

Hi DIDYMOSPL,
Thank you for writing to Dell Community Forum.
The Hard drive should be converted to GPT (GUID Partition Table) format and in BIOS the UEFI mode has to be enabled if more than 3TB hard drive should be detected.
If you have any more query please private message us the service tag of the system along with your email id.
(Note: please don't mention the service tag or email id on the public forum as it contains your personal information).
