The following notes describe the types of drives that the server supports and other information that you
must consider when installing a drive:
• Make sure that you have all the cables and other equipment that is specified in the documentation that
comes with the drive.
• Check the instructions that come with the drive to see whether you have to set any switches or jumpers
on the drive. If you are installing a SAS or SATA device, be sure to set the SAS or SATA ID for that device.
• Optional external tape drives, DVD-ROM drive are examples of removable-media drives. You can install
removable-media drives only in bays 1, 2, and 3.
• To install a 3.5-in. drive in a 5.25-in. bay, you must use a 5.25-in. conversion kit.
• The electromagnetic interference (EMI) integrity and cooling of the server are protected by having all bays
and PCI slots covered or occupied. When you install a drive or PCI adapter, save the EMC shield and filler
panel from the bay or the PCI adapter slot cover in the event that you later remove the drive or adapter.
• For a complete list of supported options for the server, see http://www.lenovo.com/thinkserver.
