For a list of ThinkServer storage drive options, go to:
The EMI integrity and cooling of the server are protected by having all storage-drive bays covered or
occupied. The number of the installed storage drives in your server varies depending on the server model.
The vacant bays are either covered by metal protective shields or occupied by dummy storage-drive trays.
When you install an easy-swap storage drive, save the removed dummy storage-drive tray from the drive bay
in case that you later remove the easy-swap storage drive and need the dummy tray to cover the place.
Attention: An unoccupied drive bay without any other protection might impact the EMI integrity and cooling
of the server, which might result in overheating or component damage. To maintain the EMI integrity and
cooling of the server, install a new easy-swap drive as soon as you remove the failing one or the dummy tray.
Before you begin, print all the related instructions or ensure that you can view the PDF version on another
computer for reference.
Notes:
• Depending on the model, your server might look slightly different from the illustrations in this topic.
• Use any documentation that comes with the easy-swap drive and follow those instructions in addition to
the instructions in this topic.
To install or replace an easy-swap drive, do the following:
1. Read the following storage drive installation rules:
• Follow the order of the storage drive bays when installing a storage drive. See “Front view of the
server” on page 17 to locate the storage drive bays in your server.
• For RAID configuration, the storage drives must be the same type with the same capacity if they are
within a single RAID array. For more information, see “Configuring RAID” on page 58.
• For storage drives with different capacities, install the storage drive by following the order of the
storage drive bays as well as the order from the lowest capacity to the highest capacity.
2. Remove all media from the drives and turn off all attached devices and the server. Then, disconnect all
power cords from electrical outlets and disconnect all cables that are connected to the server.
3. Open the front door (if available).
4. Locate the appropriate storage-drive bay. See “Front view of the server” on page 17.
