How to Install Lenovo ThinkServer 1 TB Hard Drive

Installing this 2.5-inch internal SATA hard drive in a Lenovo ThinkServer or compatible server is straightforward and designed to minimize downtime. Follow these steps for a smooth upgrade or replacement:

• Power down the server completely and unplug from the power source. If your chassis supports hot-swapping through a drive backplane, consult your server’s manual for hot-swap procedures and ensure you follow proper safety guidelines.
• Open the server chassis to access an available 2.5-inch drive bay. Remove any blanking plate and verify there is clearance around cables and existing drives before proceeding.
• Insert the 1 TB drive into the 2.5-inch bay, aligning the drive’s connectors with the backplane or motherboard connector. Secure the drive with the appropriate screws or with a tool-less mounting mechanism according to your chassis design.
• Connect the SATA data cable from the backplane or motherboard to the drive, and attach the power connector from the power supply or backplane. Ensure cables are firmly seated and routed away from fans and moving components to avoid interference.
• Close the chassis, reconnect power, and boot the server. Enter the BIOS/UEFI or the storage controller utility to recognize the new drive. Initialize and format the disk as needed, and if you’re using a RAID array or storage pool, configure the new drive within your preferred management software to achieve the desired redundancy and performance characteristics.
