• Touch the static-protective package that contains the component to any unpainted metal surface on the
server; then, remove it from the package and place it on a static-protective surface.
• Make sure the type of drives to be installed is supported. Following are the types supported:
– 3.5-inch simple-swap hard-disk drive or solid-state drive in drive bay 1 and drive bay 3
– 2.5-inch simple-swap solid-state drive in drive bay 2
For a complete list of supported optional devices for the server, see
https://static.lenovo.com/us/en/
serverproven/index.shtml
.
• If there are more than one drives to be installed, determine installation order based on the following rules:
– Start with solid-state drives, and proceed with hard-disk drives.
– When installing one 3.5-inch solid-state drive and one 3.5-inch hard-disk drive, install the solid-state
drive in bay 1 and the hard-disk drive in bay 3.
– Start with the drive with the lowest capacity.
– Start with bay 1, proceed to bay 2, and bay 3.
Note: Drives of different types and different capacities are allowed to be installed in one server, but not in
the same RAID array. The drives in a single RAID array must be the same type and the same capacity. See
https://sysmgt.lenovofiles.com/help/topic/LXPML/RAID_setup.html for more details.
