Before you begin, print all the related instructions or ensure that you can view the PDF version on another
computer for reference.
Note: Use any documentation that comes with the TR 500 key and follow those instructions in addition to
the instructions in this topic.
To install the TR 500 key, do the following:
1. Remove all media from the drives and turn off all attached devices and the server. Then, disconnect all
power cords from electrical outlets and disconnect all cables that are connected to the server.
2. Remove the server cover. See "Removing the server cover" on page 87.
3. Lay the server on its side for easier operation.
4. Locate the ThinkServer RAID 500 Adapter, which is installed in the PCI-E slot 3 on the system board.
See "System board components" on page 45.
5. Remove any parts or disconnect any cables that might impede your operation.
6. Touch the static-protective package that contains the TR 500 key to any unpainted surface on the
outside of the server. Then, take the TR 500 key out of the package.
Note: Carefully handle the TR 500 key by its edges.
7. Locate the TR 500 key connector on the ThinkServer RAID 500 Adapter and then insert the TR 500 key
into the connector. You might want to remove the RAID card first, install the TR 500 key on the RAID
card, and then reinstall the RAID card. See "Installing or removing the RAID card" on page 103.
Note: Make sure that the TR 500 key is securely seated on the RAID card.
