Notes:
• For a list of supported drives, see https://static.lenovo.com/us/en/serverproven/index.shtml.
• The drive bays are numbered to indicate the installation order (starting from number “0”). Follow the
installation order when you install a drive. See “Front view” on page 17.
• You can mix drives of different types and different capacities in one system, but not in one RAID array.
The following order is recommended when installing the drives:
– Drive type priority: SATA SSD, SATA HDD
– Drive capacity priority: the lowest capacity first
• The drives in a single RAID array must be the same type, same size, and same capacity.
Before installing a simple-swap drive:
1. If there is a drive filler installed, remove it and keep it in a safe place.
2. Touch the static-protective package that contains the new drive to any unpainted surface on the outside
of the server. Then, take the new drive out of the package and place it on a static-protective surface.
