How to Install Lenovo ThinkSystem SR645 Rear 2x2.5" SAS/SATA Backplane Option Kit
- Prepare the system: Power down the SR645 server, unplug from power sources, and discharge static electricity. Open the chassis according to Lenovo maintenance guidelines, ensuring you have a clean, static-free workspace and the appropriate ESD protection in place.
- Remove existing components: If upgrading from a prior backplane, carefully detach any existing rear backplane, cables, and drive trays that may obstruct installation. Document cable routing for reassembly and confirm that drive trays are accessible for the new backplane connection.
- Align and insert the backplane: Position the SR645 Rear 2x2.5" SAS/SATA Backplane Option Kit so that its connectors align with the server’s rear chassis slots. Slide the backplane into place, ensuring a secure fit and proper seating of all connector interfaces to prevent misalignment during boot.
- Reconnect data and power paths: Attach the SAS/SATA data cables and any required power or interconnect cables from the server’s backplane connectors to the new module. Route cables neatly to avoid interference with fans, cooling paths, or other components and ensure all connectors are firmly seated.
- Reinstall drives and close the chassis: Reinsert the 2.5" drive trays into the rear backplane bays, confirming that drives latch securely. Close the chassis, reattach screws, and restore power. Boot the system and verify that the drives are recognized by the BIOS and operating system, then perform a storage health check and confirm that drive LEDs indicate normal operation.

... into YA Westerns and I have yet to be disappointed. Under a Painted Sky is a diverse
Format: Hardcover
Over the past year I have made a foray into YA Westerns and I have yet to be disappointed. Under a Painted Sky is a diverse, cultural infused tale of two girls, Our main character, Sam a Chinese, newly orphaned girl, teams up with Annamae (Andy), an African-America, runaway slave. Together they flee St. Joe, Missouri disguised as boys and begin on the Oregon Trail. They soon join three cowboys who help keep them safe and teach them how to survive.
I think what I loved most about this book is how Lee was able to incorporate Sam's Chinese heritage and beliefs along with Andy's and intertwine all it beautifully into this richly told story. Sam's and Andy's friendship was also a highlight of the book. It caused for some great moments, some funny, many heartfelt, and I was glad to see such a positive example of female friendship in a YA novel.
Although "girl disguised as boy" seem to be a common theme in YA westerns I did not mind it here and thought Sam's inner thoughts about the challenges of pretending to be a boy were hilarious.
I think Lee struck the perfect balance between an adventure story, a coming of age tale, and portrait of what life could be like for minorities and females in the 1800s

A great BeeHive Award Winner!
Format: Kindle
This is a BeeHive Award winner for young adults! What a great read! It is a page turner, that's for sure. Two runaways--a slave and a Chinese girl--take to the trail West during the big Gold Rush. They meet up and join three young men traveling West to seek their fortunes. The catch? The girls are disguised as "boys!" The adventures begin! Fast paced book. Highly recommend it for young adults, but I really enjoyed it, too. Written well and in all situations, the characters were believable! I did make some predictions that, in fact, came true. Didn't ruin the story for me at all--only heightened my anticipation! Great read!

I absolutely loved everything about this story
Format: Kindle
I absolutely loved everything about this story. At first I was unsure of the time period, I've never been a huge western fan, but I'm so glad I picked this up. Not only were the historical details interesting, but the characters were timeless. Sammy was such a beautiful, courageous, complex main character, I couldn't help but root for her. The memories of her father and her connection to him through music was heartbreaking, and her heritage touched every facet of her life on the run. The family she formed with the cowboys and Andy was so genuine and real, and made me laugh in unexpected places. The action was fast paced and something was always happening, so it was hard to put down. Highly recommend this story for anyone who's a fan of adventure, strong female relationships, and romance. A++
