Replacing 2.5-inch and 1.8-inch hot-swap drives
This information provides instructions for replacing the 2.5-inch and 1.8-inch hot-swap drives.
The following notes describe the type of drives that the server supports and other information that you must
consider when you install a drive. For a list of supported drives, see
http://www.lenovo.com/serverproven/
• Locate the documentation that comes with the drive and follow those instructions in addition to the
instructions in this section.
• Make sure that you have all the cables and other equipment that are specified in the documentation that
comes with the drive.
• The server can support up to eight 2.5-inch drives, up to 16 1.8-inch drives, or a combination of both 2.5-
inch and 1.8-inch hot-swap drives, using the supported SAS\SATA backplane configurations. The server
supports 2.5-inch hot-swap SAS or hot-swap SATA hard disk drives, 2.5-inch hot-swap solid state drive,
or 1.8-inch hot-swap solid state drives (see “Supported drive backplane configurations” on page 69 for
more information).
• You can mix 2.5-inch hot-swap SAS and SATA hard disk drives, 2.5-inch hot-swap solid state drive, and
1.8-inch hot-swap solid state drives in the same server as long as they are not on the same array.
• When you mix drive backplane configurations, all 1.8-inch SSD drive backplanes must be installed above
the all 2.5-inch drive backplanes. See “Drive IDs” on page 67 for drive ID assignment information and
“Supported drive backplane configurations” on page 69 for information about the combination of
supported drive backplane configurations.
• The electromagnetic interference (EMI) integrity and cooling of the server are protected by having all bays
and PCI Express slots covered or occupied. When you install a drive, save the EMC shield and filler panel
from the bay in the event that you later remove the device.
• For a complete list of supported optional devices for the server, see
