how to install Lenovo 800 GB Solid State Drive - 2.5" Internal - U.2 (SFF-8639) NVMe (PCI Express 3.0 x4) - Mixed Use

  • Power down the server and unplug it from power. Ground yourself to prevent static discharge before handling components.
  • Open the server chassis and locate an available 2.5" drive bay that supports U.2 (SFF-8639) drives, or remove a reseat an existing drive in the appropriate caddy if replacing.
  • Insert the Lenovo 800 GB NVMe drive into the drive caddy and align it with the backplane or motherboard mounting points. Connect the U.2 data and power cables securely to the drive and the host adapter or backplane as required by your server model.
  • Secure the drive in the tray with the appropriate screws or locking mechanism, then reinstall the drive tray into the server chassis. Ensure the drive is firmly seated and does not obstruct any fans or cables.
  • Power on the server and enter the BIOS/UEFI. Confirm that the NVMe drive is detected, enable the NVMe operating mode if required, and apply any applicable firmware updates to the drive or storage controller.
  • Boot into the operating system and use your preferred storage management tools to initialize, partition, and format the new drive. For virtualization, databases, or workloads with data protection requirements, align the drive to your storage policy and performance profiles and integrate with Lenovo ThinkSystem management utilities for ongoing health monitoring and firmware updates.
  • Verify drive performance with a diagnostic sweep and monitor SMART/health status through your Lenovo management suite to ensure long-term reliability and optimal operation within your mixed-use environment.
