How to install Lenovo PM1655 3.20 TB SSD

Installing the PM1655 is straightforward in compatible ThinkSystem servers and SAS backplanes. Power down the system and follow these general steps to ensure proper seating and operation. Begin by identifying an available 2.5-inch drive bay or PCIe-compatible backplane slot, depending on your server model. Remove the corresponding drive tray or insert the PM1655 into a hot-swap tray designed for 2.5-inch SAS SSDs. Connect the drive to the backplane with the SAS cables as required by your chassis, ensuring the connectors are snug and properly seated. Secure the drive tray with screws or locking mechanisms as specified by your server’s enclosure, then reinsert the tray into the slot. Power on the server and enter the system BIOS or RAID controller configuration utility to recognize the new drive. If needed, update the drive’s firmware using Lenovo management tools such as XClarity or your server’s firmware update utility to ensure compatibility and optimal performance. Once detected, initialize or format the drive according to your operating system’s storage policy. For ongoing health monitoring and firmware management, you can use Lenovo’s built-in management tools to track SMART attributes, health status, and potential alerts. Always follow your organization’s change-control processes when adding or replacing storage in a production environment.
