Adding SAS HDD as a separate volume. Poweredge t620
Im a newbie so please excuse me. I want to add a HDD to a Power Edge T620. I do not want to add it to the raid. I want to use it as a separate drive volume,such as drive E:. What do I need to do? I see the HDD in Open Manage. Will not let me do nothing with it. I also see it in raid configuration. I do not want to add to the raid I have. I'm at a loss. If i initialize the hdd will it initialize the existing raid and wipe it out?

I am not close by to get that number. What I am asking is not a issue with the server. A t620 is a t620... correct? Its a knowledge issues in what to do to make it work.
As I stated before I do not want to add it to the raid. I want to use it as a separate drive volume,such as drive E:. What do I need to do? I see the HDD in Open Manage. Will not let me do nothing with it. I also see it in raid configuration. I do not want to add to the raid I have. I'm at a loss.
