Installing the DIMM air baffle
Attention: For proper cooling and airflow, replace the air baffle before you turn on
the server. Operating the server with the air baffle removed might damage server
components.
To install the DIMM air baffle, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information in “Safety” on page vii and “Installation guidelines”
on page 39.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect the power cords and
all external cables, if necessary.
3. Align the DIMM air baffle over the DIMMs so that the baffle pin on the left side
of the air baffle aligns with the pin hole next to DIMM connector 8 on the system
board and lower it into the server.
Removing and installing a hot-swap hard disk drive
The following notes describe the type of internal drives that the server supports and
other information that you must consider when installing a drive. For a list of
supported hard disk drives, go to www.lenovo.com/thinkserver and click on the
Options & Software tab.
v Locate the documentation that comes with the drive and follow those instructions
in addition to the instructions in this chapter.
v Make sure that you have all the cables and other equipment that are specified in
the documentation that comes with the drive.
v Select the bay in which you want to install the drive.
v Check the instructions that come with the drive to determine whether you have to
set any switches or jumpers on the drive. If you are installing a SAS or SATA
hard disk drive, be sure to set the SAS or SATA ID for that device.
v The server supports six 2.5-inch hot-swap SAS or hot-swap SATA hard disk
drives.
v All hot-swap drives in the server should have the same throughput speed rating.
Mixing hard disk drives with different speed ratings will cause all drives to
operate at the lower throughput speed.
