Replacing a hard disk drive

This section provides instructions on how to replace the hard disk drive.
Note: When replacing a hard disk drive in a raid configured array, depending on
which type of array is used, rebuilding the raid array might be required. If the
array is redundant, make sure to connect the new drive to the same port from
which the replaced drive was removed.
To replace the hard disk drive:
1. Open the computer cover. See "Opening the cover" on page 12.
2. Disconnect the signal and power cables from the hard disk drive.
Attention
Do not open your computer or attempt any repair before reading the "Important safety
information" in the Safety and Warranty Guide that was included with your computer. To
obtain a copy of the Safety and Warranty Guide, go to the Support Web site at:
http://www.lenovo.com/support/
Important
When you receive a new hard disk drive, you also receive a set of Product
Recovery CDs. The set of Product Recovery CDs will enable you to restore the
contents of the hard disk drive to the same state as when your computer was
originally shipped from the factory. For more information on recovering
factory-installed software, refer to "Recovering software" in your ThinkStation
User Guide.
