how to install Lenovo 2.40 TB Hard Drive
- Power down and unplug the server or workstation, following your data center’s safety and ESD precautions to protect the drive and components.
- Identify an available hot-swap bay in the server chassis and remove any existing blank or panel to prepare the bay for the new drive.
- Insert the Lenovo 2.40 TB drive into the hot-swap tray and slide the tray into the bay until it engages with the backplane; the SAS connection will be established automatically.
- Close the bay, reattach any latches or screws as required by your chassis, and reconnect power to the system.
- Power on the server to allow the hardware to initialize the new drive.
- Enter the RAID controller utility or your operating system’s storage manager to recognize the new drive. Initialize the disk if required and configure it according to your storage strategy (for example, add to an existing RAID set or format as a standalone drive).
- Update drive firmware if prompted by the server management tools, and monitor SMART and health indicators through your management software to ensure long-term reliability.
