    We'll need a lot more information than that.

    • what firmware you are running?
    • what RAID mode are you using?
    • what drive models are you adding?
    • whether the new drives are formated
    • whether you tested them before insertion.

      Also need a better description of "not working correctly".  Do you see the drives in the GUI but they are not added to the volume, or don't see them at all?  Is there a chance somebody purchased SAS drives instead of SATA?  The 4312 looks like a common server, most of which accept SAS drives, and the slots in it will also accept SAS physically. But the 4312 does not contain a SAS controller, so they won't work.
