28TB Seagate Exos drive does not show up in an Unraid server

A new 28TB ST28000NM001C was installed in an Unraid server, but the server did not show the drive. The drive was placed in a case.

The same server already has six other ST drives installed. Those existing drives include four 24TB drives and two 18TB drives.

The existing drives use similar ST-series model numbers. The new drive was bought from ServerPartsDeals.com, and a bad drive is the main concern.
