Make sure you use the mounting holes that put the drive CLOSEST to the backplane, regardless of how they are labeled.
I have a DELL PowerEdge R310 running Windows Server 2008 and RAID 1 with a PERC H200 controller. One of the disk drives (Seagate SAS 300G - ST9300605SS) went bad and I replaced it with a new drive of the exact same type. However, the server is not adding the new drive to the RAID. It recognizes that the drive is in the cpu but is listed with a status of "Foreign". What do I need to do to get the server to add the new drive to the RAID. Any assistance would be appreciated.
