How to install Lenovo 2.40 TB Hard Drive

• Power down the server or ensure your backplane supports hot-swapping before attempting installation.
• Open the drive bay or backplane access area and identify an available 2.5-inch slot compatible with SAS drives.
• Remove the blank tray or verify a compatible drive tray is ready. Align the Lenovo drive with the tray rails and slide it into the bay until it is fully seated.
• Lock the drive into place using the tray latch or backplane mechanism. In hot-swap environments, the drive should seat with the backplane’s connector making secure contact automatically.
• Power on the system (or resume operation if hot-swapping) and enter the RAID controller or system BIOS/UEFI as required. Initialize the drive and configure for a new logical drive or integrate into an existing RAID set according to your storage strategy.
• Format and assign the drive within the operating system or storage management software as needed, then monitor SMART status and health indicators to ensure ongoing reliability.
