The following notes describe the type of drives that your server supports and other information that you must
consider when you install a drive.
• For a complete list of supported optional devices for the server, see:
http://www.lenovo.com/us/en/serverproven/
• 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 13.
• You can mix drives of different types, different sizes, and different capacities in one system, but not in one
RAID array. The following order is recommended when installing the drives:
– Drive type priority: 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 the drive bay has a drive filler installed, remove it. Keep the drive filler in a safe place for future use.

2. Touch the static-protective package that contains the new simple-drive to any unpainted surface on the
outside of the server. Then, take the new simple-swap drive out of the package and place it on a static-
protective surface.
