Drive Ids - Lenovo System x3250 M5 Installation And Service Manual

• Select the bay in which you want to install the drive.
• 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.
• The fixed power supply models can support up to four 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch hot-swap or simple-swap
hard disk drives.
• The redundant power supply models can support up to eight 2.5-inch hot-swap or simple-swap hard
disk drives.
• The electromagnetic interference (EMI) integrity and cooling of the server are protected by having all bays
and PCI and PCI Express slots covered or occupied. When you install a drive, PCI, or PCI Express
adapter, save the EMC shield and filler panel from the bay or PCI adapter or PCI Express adapter slot
cover in the event that you later remove the device.
• For a complete list of supported optional devices for the server, see
