How to install Lenovo 2 TB Hard Drive
- Power off your computer and unplug the power cord. Ground yourself or touch a grounded metal surface to prevent static discharge, then open the computer case.
- Remove the existing drive (if upgrading) or prepare an available 3.5" drive bay. Align the new Lenovo HDD with the bay’s screw holes and secure it with the appropriate screws to minimize vibration and movement.
- Connect a SATA data cable from a motherboard SATA port to the drive’s SATA interface, then connect a SATA power connector from the power supply to the drive. Ensure the connectors are firmly seated for reliable operation.
- Close the case, reconnect power, and power on the system. Enter the BIOS/UEFI to confirm the drive is detected. If necessary, set the drive as a priority boot device or ensure it appears in the storage configuration screen.
- Once in the operating system, initialize, partition, and format the new drive according to your needs. You can use built-in OS tools (such as Disk Management on Windows or Disk Utility on macOS) to create volumes, assign drive letters, or set up a dedicated backup or media storage partition.
