You can purchase a TR 500 Key from Lenovo. Installing the TR 500 Key Attention: Do not open your server or attempt any repair before reading and understanding "Safety information" on page iii and "Guidelines" on page 73. This topic provides instructions on how to install the TR 500 Key on a ThinkServer RAID 500 Adapter if your server has a ThinkServer RAID 500 Adapter installed. Attention: Back up your data before you begin if you want to reconfigure RAID and reinstall the operating system after installing the TR 500 Key. 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. If the server is installed in a rack cabinet, remove the server from the rack cabinet and place it on a flat, clean, and static-protective surface. See the Rack Installation Instructions that comes with the server. 3. Remove the server cover. See "Removing the server cover" on page 75. 4. Remove the cooling shroud. See "Removing and reinstalling the cooling shroud" on page 79. 5. Locate the ThinkServer RAID 500 Adapter, which is installed in the PCI Express card slot on the riser card assembly 2. Then, disconnect any cables from the ThinkServer RAID 500 Adapter. 6. Remove the riser card assembly 2 and lay it upside down on a flat, clean, and static-protective surface. The procedure is similar to that of the riser card assembly 1. See "Replacing the riser card assembly 1" on page 160. 7.
