How to Install Lenovo P4800X 375 GB NVMe SSD

Installing the Lenovo P4800X in a compatible server or workstation is straightforward when you follow best practices for hot-swappable NVMe drives. This guide assumes a server chassis with a U.2 NVMe slot and a drive sled or caddy compatible with 3.5" U.2 drives. Always consult your server’s hardware maintenance manual for vendor-specific guidance and RAID controller compatibility.

  • Power down the system and disconnect all power sources. If you're operating from a high-availability environment, place the server into a maintenance mode and follow your organization’s change-control procedures.
  • Identify an available U.2 hot-swap drive bay or sled compatible with 3.5" NVMe drives. If your chassis uses a drive sled, open the sled release levers or screws as required to remove the empty bay.
  • Remove the existing drive from the target bay (if upgrading) by detaching the drive from its sled, then carefully slide the Lenovo P4800X into the slot. Ensure the U.2 connector aligns with the backplane and insert firmly until fully seated.
  • Secure the drive using the sled’s retention mechanism or mounting screws. Reconnect any required power and data cables if your server uses direct backplane connections, and reinsert the sled into the bay until it locks into place.
  • Power on the server and enter the system BIOS/UEFI or RAID/NVMe controller utility. Verify that the P4800X shows up as an NVMe device in the PCIe/NVMe configuration. If the drive is intended to be part of a RAID array, follow your controller’s steps to initialize or rebuild the array. If used as a standalone NVMe volume, format and partition the drive according to your data store requirements using supported OS or hypervisor tools.
  • Run a basic health check and SMART/readout if your management software provides NVMe monitoring. Update any firmware if Lenovo provides a supported update package, ensuring compatibility with your server firmware and drivers.
  • Once configured, monitor endurance and performance to ensure the drive operates within expected parameters for your workload. Document the upgrade for asset management and future maintenance planning.
