Installing the drives

This section covers the procedure to physically install the set of eight drives to upgrade the storage capacity
of the ThinkAgile CP solution.

Static Sensitive Device

Ground package before

opening

Before installing the drive into the storage block, ensure that they are properly prepared according to
Preparing the drives section.

Procedure performed by

: customer or field service

Notes:

• The drive bays are numbered to indicate the installation order (starting from number “01”). Follow this

installation order when you install a drive.

• You cannot mix drives of different capacities in one system.

To install a hot-swap drive, complete the following steps:

Step 1. Check that the NVME namespace before installing the new drives:

# llss //d

deevv//n

nvvm

mee?

Following is an example output:

/dev/nvme0 /dev/nvme1 /dev/nvme2 /dev/nvme3 /dev/nvme4 /dev/nvme5 /dev/nvme6 /dev/nvme7

Step 2. To open the drive tray handle, press the release tab.
