I want to replace the drive bays, quesiton about the connected fans...

Curious to know if the bios will report any faults if I replace either of the 5.25 drive bays, losing the connected fans?  I dont need the ODD, and am thinking of fitting 2x 5.25 drive bay caddies in the top 2 bays.  If so, can these be disabled in the bios, or will the system halt during post awaiting a keyboard input?

Hello,
I'm assuming you're talking about the TS140? The maximum supported drives on this system is 4. The cooling is the main reason for this. Lenovo does sell an adapter that has a small fan on the back of it to increase airflow inside the system. 5 drives were never validated on this system and if it were, I'm not sure how it would affect the temperature inside the chassis. It may work, but I would be concerned about the airflow / temperature inside the chassis with adding drives without an additional fan.

  • Help! How do you get the cd drive bay out of the Pismo?

    I just bought a new LG CD-RW/DVD drive (hope it was a good choice), but I can't find any info on how to get the old one out and put the new one in.
    There is lots of data on the four easy screws to remove for replacing the drive once it is out of the laptop, but no data on how to get to it while it is still under the keyboard and inside the Pismo?

    Little Fish,
    A properly working lever will have resistance as it pushes the whole drive mechanism out of the bay. It looks like the lever opens about 45º on my Wallstreet before it starts to eject, then reaches a full 90º with the drive protruding about 1/2 inch...you can then grab the drive and pull it on out.
    If the drive feels like it is not going to move after applying moderate pressure, disconnect all power and cables (only so you do not damage them), turn the 'book so the drive bay hangs over the edge of a table. You can now get your fingernails under the back edge of the drive on the bottom and help pull it out while using the lever.

  • What is the drive bay arrangement in my MacPro5,1?

    I have a mac pro with an apple RAID card running RAID 5.  I opened it up to replace a drive, and I am suspicious of whether the drive bay sleds were put back in the factory order.  Can someone confirm where drive bay one should be located on a mid 2010 mac pro?  Is it toward the front or rear of the machine?
    Thanks,
    MVC

    Thanks for the reply.  I just needed to know where bay 1 was.  The drive in bay 2 failed, and before replacing it, I wanted to ensure that I was pulling the right bay out, so as not to lose the whole RAID, if I had mistakenly pulled one of the three remaining drives.
    Thanks again.

  • My Windows part of the drive got all of the files deleted and got renamed

    My Windows part of the drive got all of the files deleted and got renamed to Time Machine Backups. This all happened when i woke up and i tried to do to the windows part of the drive and it was not there. So I went to the mac part and i saw it was renamed to Time Machine Backups. So then I clicked to see if any thing was in the part. Nothing. I tried to go to boot camp assistant it said -The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition. The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows.-So Then I went to disk utility to erase it but it did nothing. PLEASE HELP ME

    1. Time machine probably has the disk locked. Go into time machine preferences and turn it off.
    2. open DU (disk utility), see if you can dismount the boot camp partition. If not, log out, log back in and try again with DU. Once it will mount and dismount go to step 3.
    3. In DU select the boot camp volume, select erase, select msdos file system (format), select name for partition, select erase.
    4. Close DU, Open preferences > system > startup disk.
    5. Highlight the msdos partition, close preferences (this blesses the msdos partition and sets it to boot).
    6. Place your windows cd/dvd in the tray, close tray and reboot.
    7. Install windows.
    8. After complete installation, select run, type in "cmd" (in windows).
    9. A windows terminal will open, at the prompt type:
    convert c: /fs:ntfs
    press enter, it will ask if you want to schedule the conversion at the next startup?.
    10. Select yes. Time machine will leave a ntfs drive alone, simply because it cannot write to it.
    11. Reboot windows and let it convert the file system. That's it.

    The username and password for the share on your attached drive can be anything you want them to be. I assume you set up a share on the attached drive? That's where you need to add a password for the share, although for ease of use I never did assign a password to the shares.
    You do know that the firmware for the Storage Link is buggy, right? File size limitations as well as file corruption issues? Connectivity issues also rise up, with the only workaround that I have found is a script that you have to run every time you boot up your computer. As far as I can see the Storage Link function is a poorly implemented idea. No firmware in sight to fix the issues, and no idea of when.

    It's a tray loading drive, there should be a little hole next to it, just large enough for a paper clip.  Stick the end of the paper clip in it and the tray should open.

  • The driver doesn't support the version of ODBC

    So we don't know if this error could happen because the number of connections were exceeded, but when this has happened the error messages is different.
    Let me tell you that the application client was developed using C#. So could it be that the C# on .NET could have a instruction that the timesten ODBC could not manage?

    Is this problem reproducable? i.e. Does it occur whenever you get close to 125 clients connecting to TimesTen? Next time when it happens again, can you check to see whether you can establish a new client/server connection locally on the TimesTen server machine?
    Each TimesTen Client connection requires one server process, and by default, a server process is spawned when a client requests a connection. It is possible that you may have too many processes running on the server, hence it cannot spawn additional server processes to handle the new connections. The good news is that in 7.0.3, the TimesTen server is now multi-threaded and each process can handle multiple client connections (this number is configurable), so it's possible to have fewer server processes for the same number of client connections compared to previous releases.
    Please check out "Specifying multiple connections to the TimesTen Server" in the 7.0.3 Oracle TimesTen Operations Guide for more information on how to turn on the multithreaded mode.

  • MSI GeForce 9800 gt after updating the driver can't see the whole desktop

         I have a MSI GeForce 9800gt, and I've tried to update the driver. After update I can no longer see the whole desktop, I have to move the mouse to the edge of the screen to see the rest, it's like there is a zoom or something.
         The driver that came with the CD works fine, but any other driver give's me the same problem. I've tried with v.191.07, v.178, v.258.96, v.306.81 and a few other. I've also reinstall the windows but with no better results (I'm using Windows XP Pro).
         Please help. Thank you.

    Thanks for the quick replay, so :

    Did you try to set the correct resolution for your screen after updating?
    Yes, I've tried different resolutions, the only resolution where I see the whole desktop is 800x600. I even try to change the refresh rate to something lower then 60Hertz(I've read on a forum that a refresh rate of 51 or 59 might solve the problem) but no luck.

    i recently made an album from my i photos and the the drive crashed ...the album isnt in iphoto.how can i order more copies of the album?

    Ay album do you mean an iPhoto book?  The best way is to restore a backup copy of your iPhoto library from just before the drive crashed.
    Baring that your only hope is to recreate the book in iPhoto.  For future book I suggest you try what is described in this tutorial: iP08 - Archiving an iPhoto Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date and, if you don't already have one, start a backup strategy for backing up your important files.

  • I have a 2007 Mac Pro running 10.7.5 and I want to replace a drive and install Lion

    I have a 2007 Mac Pro running 10.7.5 with dual core intel 2.66 with 13 GB ram. I want to replace my startup disk 250GB (which has all my apps) but has been lagging ( I thinks it's an original drive) with the new HD in bay 2 (4 T drive) which I installed this week. I tried to install lion onto it and it said I needed a newer version 10.7.3-I have time machine as my backup on an external. All the bays are full and I'd like to trade them out sooner or later to get more room for movies, etc. The last OSX disk I have is Snow Leopard and that was rejected as not new enough. Can someone help me with info on installing Lion on the new drive. I know how to make it the startup disk after, but I can't seem to load 10.6, 10.7 or 10.8 (not supported on my older mac pro.) Thanks,
    ANNE Z

    Firstly, time to get rid of the 2 x 512MB FBDIMMs in there, they add more heat and use more watts then they add to the system. If you need more, and 4 or 8 DIMMs is ideal, Amazon has 2x2GB sets $22 - about 1/50th what I paid for 1GB new.
    Buy a 250GB Samsung EVO SSD $129
    Pick up Carbon Copy Cloner http://www.bombich.com to clone the system to the SSD
    A sled adapter for the SSD from Icy Dock $14 Amazon.com
    7-8 years overdue for new system drive! amazed it lasted this long. An SSD plus some WD Black 2TB drives or larger should do the trick.
    you can also put the SSD in the lower optical drive bay and use one of the two ODD "spare" SATA ports for the SSD - an SSD is the best way to improve the performance of our old Mac Pro 2006-7 models.
    When you downloaded the Lion installer that was when to create a flash type installer with Lion DiskMaker.
    If you have put in a new-ish graphic card then OS X 10.6.0 may not support it.

  • How to replace hard drive bay fan?

    The fan in my G5 tower dual 1.8 Ghz in the top bay - optical/hard drive bay - has started to make noise. I bought a replacement, but I don't see any way to get the old one out. It sits in a little depression in the bay floor, and even if I got out the 3 screws holding it in place, it won't tilt far enough front or back to slide out.
    Anyone know of any write-up anywhere about how to replace this fan assembly?

    Those two fans (media bay fans) are only given a mention in the "official" service manual.
    The drive fan and blower located between the optical and hard drives cannot be
    replaced. You must replace the enclosure for these two parts.
    Does this mean the "entire" enclosure, as in the tower, or just an enclosure for the fans held to the tray of the media bay?
    I don't know.
    Maybe someone who has done this can offer advice, but it seems that there is a need for someone to write a manual for that procedure.

  • Want to replace System Drive

    Hi
    I have a Xserve running OS X Server v 10.5
    Right now it has the 80GB apple drive module, and it is really full. I want to replace the module with a larger drive, probably the 160GB module. What would be the best way of swaping the drives?
    I was thinking of maybe booting the server in target disk mode and using disk utility to create an image of the system drive, but I"m not to clear on how to "install" that image on the new drive.
    Any input would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    -ray

    This is pretty easy - no need to mess with Target Disk Mode or disk images.
    Just boot the system from the install DVD. Once the installer launches choose 'Terminal' from the Utilities menu and use the command-line tool asr to replicate your drive. Something along the lines of:
    asr --source /Volumes/ORIGINAL_BOOT --target /Volumes/NEW_DRIVE --erase
    This tells asr to copy /Volumes/ORIGINAL_BOOT to /Volumes/NEW_DRIVE after erasing NEW_DRIVE.
    When complete, NEW_DRIVE will be a clone of ORIGINAL_BOOT. Once its done you should be able to select NEW_DRIVE as your boot drive and you're done.
