how to install Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 V2 7mm SATA 2-Bay Raid Enablement Kit
To get the most from this RAID enablement kit, follow these installation best practices that balance speed and reliability while preserving data integrity during deployment. Prior to starting, ensure you have backed up any critical data and have the appropriate firmware and software updates for your SR650 V2 chassis and storage controllers.
- Power down and prepare the server: Shut down the ThinkSystem SR650 V2, unplug power cords, and disconnect any peripherals. Ground yourself to avoid static discharge and verify that you are working in an appropriate maintenance window to minimize impact on services.
- Access the drive backplane area: Open the server chassis per Lenovo’s maintenance procedure, locate the 2-bay 7mm backplane that will receive the RAID enablement kit, and verify available connector positions for data and power paths.
- Install the RAID enablement kit: Align the kit with the backplane connectors and seating guides, then secure it using the chassis’ mounting provisions. Attach any required SATA data and power cables provided with the kit, ensuring clean routing that does not impede airflow or obstruct other components.
- Configure in BIOS/UEFI: Power on the server and enter the BIOS/UEFI setup. Navigate to the SATA/RAID configuration section and recognize the newly installed RAID-enabled device. Create the desired RAID volume (for example, a single logical drive across the 2 bays) or verify existing configurations, then save the settings and exit.
- Update firmware and drivers: After OS installation or during maintenance, apply the latest Lenovo firmware and storage controller drivers recommended for the SR650 V2. This ensures compatibility, stability, and optimal performance with the RAID features.

Comfort and Support
Color: Grey
If you're looking for an office chair with comfort and support in mind, then this is one you should consider. Item delivered on time as stated when purchased. Assembly instructions were quite clear, just make sure all parts are accounted for when opening box. Pay attention to the supplied screw sizing during assembly per the instructions. The supplied hex key, if used, will get the assembly job done, but would recommend using a cordless drill with clutch and appropriate sized hex bit for faster and less fatiguing hand work. Just be sure to start screws by hand first to make sure they start threading into the openings so you won't cross thread the screws. Once assembled, set the chair adjustments to your liking and enjoy a very nice looking, comfortable, and supportive office chair. I especially like the lumbar support built into this product. One last note, if you are going to use this product on hard surfaced floors it is recommended that you purchase soft office chair wheels (sold here on Amazon) because the wheels supplied are hard plastic and will scratch or mar hard flooring.

Great chair!
Color: Black
Had some issues with Delivery! But got the chair. Beautiful and comfortable. Had one once before as a gaming chair, same kind but bought it from walmart. I used to fall asleep in it all the time. Now i have it for work! One of the best chairs for the cheapest price you can get! If you want a more comfortable chair then this..... your looking at about 300 bucks. Which is next on my list!
It comes with its own screws and washers. The manual is self explanatory however you do kinda gotta play the guessing game. It's pretty simple! match the screws up with the ones in diagram. It comes with an Alan wrench. Your hand might be a bit tired tho. I advise to tighten them with super lock tight or gorilla glue so they never come unloose. And gorilla glue the bolt covers on.
Keep in mind if you use gorilla glue..... they will never come off. Lol. But as far as tighting it.... do not over tighten it. Tighten enough to where you have to put some pressure on it to turn it half way and stop.
Another tip, it's a bit of a pain to set it up with one person. If you got an extra set of hands... use em. If not.... you might be their for a bit.
Start with setting up base.
Then put arms on seat.
(Keep bolts loose but screwed in. You'll see why later when you tighten them down)
Then attach back to arms and seat.
(Now make sure bolts are in holes and tighten them down. But not at once! Do about 4 turns, move to another one. Then the other side. It's like tightening lug nuts on the wheel of a car. If you tighten one all the way down it will throw all the other bolts off and make it much more difficult to ease the bolts into the holes they go in)
Then attach seat to base.
Believe me. It's way easier if you do it like that instead of how the installation instructions say.
After that, put the caps on the holes to cover the bolts. If you don't glue them, they will pop off ..... their not..... super good. But!!!! 1 or 2 drops of gorilla glue and you never have to worry about them popping off. (They seem like they go on their tight, but they don't stay on!)

Nice chair but definitely not breathable.
Color: Black
Once I figured out the arms had a left and right...the chair was easy to put together. The faux leather is nice. The seat is (or will be once I break it in) very comfortable. I have 2 minor complaints. It is extremely straight up and down. I haven't had much chance to play with it to see if I can get it to recline even an inch. That would help. And number two, it's HOT. I'm going to have to get some sort of seat pad because the pleather is not breathable and every time I get up my bum is sweaty. I know, TMI. But all in all I think it will serve my purposes.
