How to Install Lenovo ThinkSystem 2U 8x2.5" NVMe Backplane Option Kit
- Power down the server and disconnect all power sources. Follow your organization’s safety procedures and ESD guidelines before handling components.
- Open the chassis access panel and identify the 2U drive backplane bay location where the kit will be installed. Remove any existing drive cage or backplane components if necessary and compatible with the system.
- Install the backplane assembly into the designated 2U slot, aligning mounting holes and securely fastening the kit to the chassis to ensure a stable, vibration-free platform.
- Connect the required interconnect cables from the backplane to the server’s storage controller or appropriate motherboard/NVMe interconnect headers as specified by Lenovo documentation for your exact ThinkSystem model. Confirm that all cables are routed neatly to avoid interference with cooling paths or fans.
- Install the eight NVMe drives into the 2.5-inch drive trays (as applicable) and insert trays into the backplane bays. Ensure each drive is fully seated and the trays are locked in place if the chassis supports tray locks.
- Reattach the chassis cover, reconnect power, and boot the server. Enter the system BIOS/UEFI to verify the backplane and all NVMe drives are detected. Update firmware and storage controller drivers if prompted, following Lenovo’s recommended procedures.
- Configure the drives in the operating system or hypervisor as you would with any NVMe storage array—set up RAID policies if required by your workload, allocate volumes, and tune performance settings to suit your applications.
Frequently asked questions
- What is included in this kit? The Lenovo ThinkSystem 2U 8x2.5" NVMe Backplane Option Kit includes the backplane assembly and the required interconnect cables and mounting hardware needed for installation within supported ThinkSystem servers. Some configurations may require additional drive trays or adapters compatible with your chassis; always refer to Lenovo documentation for exact contents and compatibility.
- Is this backplane compatible with all ThinkSystem servers? This is an official ThinkSystem backplane option kit designed to integrate with specific Lenovo ThinkSystem server families. Compatibility depends on the server model, chassis design, and firmware level. Always verify compatibility with Lenovo’s product matrix or your Lenovo account representative before purchase.
- Do I need a special controller to use these NVMe drives? In many cases, the NVMe backplane will work with the server’s existing NVMe-capable storage controller or PCIe-to-NVMe controller as part of the ThinkSystem platform. Some configurations may require firmware updates or compatible storage controllers as specified by Lenovo.
- Can drives be hot-swapped? Yes, the backplane supports hot-swap operation where the chassis and drive trays provide hot-swappable capability. Ensure hot-swap functionality is enabled and supported by your server model and firmware.
- What workloads benefit most from this 2U NVMe backplane? High-demand, latency-sensitive workloads such as large-scale databases, real-time analytics, virtualization, AI/ML data pipelines, and high-throughput transactional systems benefit from the increased IOPS, lower latency, and higher bandwidth provided by eight NVMe drives in a compact 2U footprint.
- How do I ensure optimal performance? Keep firmware and drivers up to date, verify cabling integrity, and tune storage controller settings to balance throughput and latency. For mission-critical deployments, consult Lenovo support to align the backplane with the correct controller, PCIe lane allocation, and system-wide performance profiling.

These are not sized correctly - beware
Color: Blue-ice Plus, Size: King(Pack of 2), Color: Blue-ice Plus, Size: King(Pack of 2)
Edit: I was going to return these pillows but the seller contacted me and offered a full refund due to the size issue without having to send the pillows back.
I am happy with this and happy to keep them on a spare queen size bed as they really are nice pillows. Just the wrong size.
pros: they are a nice pillow and the cooling feature is really great, and you can adjust to your liking
cons: absolutely wrong size. Ordered King, tag says king, all measurements on listing and tag say 20x36, in reality they are more like 20x30. Definitely Queen pillows being sold as King.
I did not see any reviews at first about size issues but after I got these and did a search it does look like others have had the same problem.
A shame, would have given them a great review if they were the correct size

Really Good Cooling Pillows for Sleeping
Color: Blue-ice Plus, Size: Queen(Pack of 2), Color: Blue-ice Plus, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
These cooling pillows are very soft and provide excellent support for your head and neck. They are adjustable by taking our the stuffing if you need them to be more flat or less firm. The look great and comes in a pack of two which is a great value. During use, I did notice they have great shape retention and it does not take them long to return to their fluffy full shape. I am a hot sleeper and these do keep your head cool - just be aware using a pillow cover does reduce the cool ability but this allows you to adjust for weather like during winters to add a pillow case for extra warmth. Very happy with this purchase and got a second set to replace my old pillows.

Best frother on the market
This company has the best frothers I have ever used, and I have gone through my fair share of frothers over the years trying to find a good one. I bought this frother as soon as I saw they had an upgraded model, although the older model I was using for the past few years was great too (I now use that frother to mix up my dog's supplements :) ).
I have found most frothers to be weak, cheaply made, and eat batteries like candy, even ones rated really well here on Amazon. This one however deserves the great reviews. It is well-made and powerful and the newly added 9 different speeds fixes the "problem" the old one had of being a little too powerful at times. The newly designed stand is definitely a major upgrade. The old one was kinda awkward and would wobble, sometimes falling over when trying to put the frother back in it, but this new one is much sturdier and looks nicer, too. The battery life is also excellent. I can rarely remember the last time I had to charge the frother—it lasts a while. And the new indicator makes it easy to know exactly when it needs a recharging now.
I haven't looked at another frother in years since switching to this brand. I can't recommend their frothers enough.

✨Happy with my purchase!
At the time of writing this review, I've had my frother for almost a month now, and I love it!
Out of the box, it had a good amount of charge already on it, but I did charged it fully before using. I use it just once a day for my morning coffee fix, and it says I still have 80% charge left. I love that feature. I have used the frothing whisk for coffee, which is fantastic, and the regular wisk for scrambled eggs. It works, but I prefer a hand manual whisk for eggs, because I have more control. Even on the lowest speed, it made the bowl spin WAY too much, and I almost had a mess. No problems like that using the frothing wand for my milk though.
The dough hook. I have no idea why a dough hook is part of the package... what would it be useful for, one cookie, one bread roll?? I will never used it.
The stand itself works for holding the unit, but the holders for the individual wands could be better. I already snapped the plastic on one of them, but not matter, since I'm not using the dough hook anyway. LOL!
All in all, I'm happy with my purchase! It's easy to use and clean. It's a quality built frother, the price is fair, I like the variable speed settings, and I love the fact that it shows how much charge is left. Future product improvements I would recommend: make it waterproof, and lose the useless dough hook.
