How to install Lenovo 900 GB Hard Drive

• Prepare the equipment: Power down the server or storage enclosure and disconnect power and data cables. Ground yourself to avoid static discharge, and verify that you have a compatible 2.5" drive bay or drive tray for installation.
• Access the drive bay: Remove the front panel or access cover according to the equipment’s maintenance manual. Locate an available 2.5" drive slot that matches the drive’s form factor and mounting requirements.
• Install the drive in the tray or backplane: Insert the Lenovo 900 GB SAS drive into the appropriate drive tray or directly into the backplane, ensuring the SAS connector aligns with the backplane connector. If using a tray, secure the drive with screws or captive fasteners as required by the chassis.
• Connect the interface and power: Attach the SAS data cable to the drive backplane or controller, and connect the power cable as per your system’s configuration. Ensure cables are routed neatly to avoid interference with fans and other components.
• Power up and verify: Reassemble any covers, power on the system, and enter BIOS/RAID controller utility to confirm that the new 900 GB drive is detected. Configure it in the desired RAID or storage pool if applicable, and run any recommended post-install diagnostics to ensure healthy operation.
