Attention:
• Read
“Installation Guidelines” on page 55 and “Safety inspection checklist” on page 56 to ensure that you
work safely.
• Power off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect the power cords and all external cables. See
“Power off the server” on page 73.
• Prevent exposure to static electricity, which might lead to system halt and loss of data, by keeping static-
sensitive components in their static-protective packages until installation, and handling these devices with
an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system.
• Before you remove or make changes to drives, drive controllers (including controllers that are integrated
on the system board assembly), drive backplanes or drive cables, back up all important data that is stored
on drives.
• The CFF adapter is supported only in the 2.5-inch drive bay chassis.
Firmware and driver download: You might need to update the firmware or driver after replacing a
component.
• Go to
https://datacentersupport.lenovo.com/products/servers/thinksystem/sr650v3/7d75/downloads/driver-
list/
to see the latest firmware and driver updates for your server.
• Go to
“Update the firmware” on page 445 for more information on firmware updating tools.

Procedure
Step 1. Touch the static-protective package that contains the new part to any unpainted surface on the
outside of the server. Then, take the new part out of the package and place it on a static-protective
surface.
Note: The adapter is shipped with and preinstalled on a mounting bracket, check and ensure that
the adapter is fixed in place. If there are any loosen screws, tighten the screws using a No.1 Phillips
torque screwdriver. The maximum torque value is 4.8 ± 0.5 inch-pounds.
Step 2. Align the notches on the mounting bracket with the pins on the chassis, place down the adapter,
and slightly slide it as shown to secure it on the chassis.
Note: The illustration shows installing the CFF adapter on the left side (viewed from the front of the
server). When the 24 x 2.5-inch drive backplane with expander is installed, the CFF adapter can be
installed only on the other side (right side viewed from the front of the server).
