Overview

The following document will provide detailed guidance for users to add in the M.2

and SATA drives in order to optimally configure their system storage options in

the ThinkStation P5 platform. The ThinkStation P5 workstation offers both M.2

SSD support as well as support for the traditional SATA HDDs. The P5

workstation provides two standard M.2 slots directly on the motherboard as well

as the ability to utilize an optional FLEX bay that can hold one externally

accessible hot swappable M.2 drive. There is also an optional quad M.2 PCIe Add

In Card (AIC). There are two internal SATA bays located at the bottom of the

system with an optional internal HDD kit to add one SATA drive to the top front

section of the chassis.

Here is a high-level overview of the types of storage devices supported in the

ThinkStation P5 platform:

Onboard M.2 SSD drive installation

1. Open the side cover on the P5 and remove any PCIe adapters that may

interfere with accessing the onboard M.2 slots.

2. Push on the outside edge of red locking mechanism to rotate it

counterclockwise.

3. Slightly lift the carrier up to about a 15-degree angle and pull it straight out

of the slot.

Caution: Be careful not to raise the carrier up too far before pulling it out as

this risks breaking the M.2 slot.

4. Lay the M.2 carrier flat on a desk and carefully separate the heat sink from

the carrier by gently pushing two of the tabs on one side away from the heat

sink.

5. Remove the plastic insert, then remove the thermal pad plastic film from

both sides.

6. Insert the M.2 drive carefully in the M.2 bracket as shown below, align the

notch in the end of the drive with the notch in the heatsink.

7. Reinstall the heatsink on top of the M.2 drive within the carrier by inserting

the feet on one side of the heat sink into the openings of two of the tabs on

one side of the carrier. Then press down on the other side of the heat sink

until the feet engage the tabs on the heatsink.

8. Insert the M.2 bracket back into the onboard M.2 slot at a slight 15-degree

angle.

Caution: Be careful not to use excessive force as this risks breaking the M.2

slot.

9. Gently lower the carrier and push on the edge of the red latch to rotate the

latch clockwise and secure the M.2 carrier in the system.
