Notes: Cables that connect to the storage tray are longer than the cables that connect to the
compute tray. For optimal cable routing, you should replace the following cables when converting
from a storage tray to a compute tray in the upper-tray position:
• Fan cage cable. Replace part number 01GW929 with part number 01GW928.
• Drive power cable. Replace part number 01GW930 with part number 01GW917.
• Drive Signal cable. Replace part number 01GW931 with part number 01GW918.
Complete the following steps to convert a storage tray to a compute tray:
a. Remove the upper tray from the server if you have not already done so.
See
http://thinksystem.lenovofiles.com/help/topic/7X12/remove_the_storage_tray.html.
b. Disconnect all cables from the storage boards.
See
http://thinksystem.lenovofiles.com/help/topic/7X12/cable_routing_common.html and http://
thinksystem.lenovofiles.com/help/topic/7X12/cable_routing_for_drives.html
.
c. Remove the storage board assembly.
See
http://thinksystem.lenovofiles.com/help/topic/7X12/remove_the_storage_board.html.
d. Install the system board into the lower bay in the tray.
See
http://thinksystem.lenovofiles.com/help/topic/7X12/install_the_compute_system_board.html.
e. Connect cables to the lower system board.
See
http://thinksystem.lenovofiles.com/help/topic/7X12/cable_routing_common.html and http://
thinksystem.lenovofiles.com/help/topic/7X12/cable_routing_for_drives.html
.
f. Install the system board into the upper bay in the tray.
See
http://thinksystem.lenovofiles.com/help/topic/7X12/install_the_compute_system_board.html.
g. Connect cables to the upper system board.
See
http://thinksystem.lenovofiles.com/help/topic/7X12/cable_routing_common.html and http://
thinksystem.lenovofiles.com/help/topic/7X12/cable_routing_for_drives.html
.
h. Remove the fan fillers in fan bay 8, 10, and 12, and install fans in those bays.
See
http://thinksystem.lenovofiles.com/help/topic/7X12/install_the_fan.html.
Step 10. Install the server back into a rack.
See the ThinkSystem SR950 Rack Installation Instructions, which is available here:
http://thinksystem.lenovofiles.com/help/topic/7X12/pdf_files.html
Step 11. Install all the compute tray and I/O tray that were removed.
• For compute tray installation instructions, see
http://thinksystem.lenovofiles.com/help/topic/7X12/
install_the_compute_tray.html
.
• For I/O tray installation instructions, see
http://thinksystem.lenovofiles.com/help/topic/7X12/install_
the_io_tray.html
.
Step 12. Install the front cover. See “Install the front cover” on page 322.
After installation is complete, reconnect all external cables and power on the server.
