Warnings and cautions
WARNING! Any surface or area of the equipment marked with this symbol indicates the
presence of a hot surface or hot component. If this surface is contacted, the potential for injury exists.
To reduce the risk of injury from a hot component, enable the surface to cool before touching.
WARNING! Any surface or area of the equipment marked with this symbol indicates the
presence of an electrical shock hazard. To reduce the risk of injury from electrical shock, do not open
any enclosed area marked with this symbol.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your equipment:
— Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.
— Plug the power cord in a grounded (earthed) outlet that is easily accessible at all times.
— Disconnect power from the equipment by unplugging the power cord from the electrical outlet.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the Safety & Comfort Guide. It describes
proper computer setup, posture, health, and work habits for computer users, and provides important
electrical and mechanical safety information. This guide is located at http://www.hp.com/ergo and on
the documentation CD (if one is included with the product).
WARNING! If a product is shipped in packaging marked with this symbol, , the product must
always be lifted by two persons to avoid personal injury due to product weight.
CAUTION: Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the computer. Before
beginning these procedures, be sure you discharge static electricity by briefly touching a grounded
metal object.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the computer, observe the following Electrostatic Discharge
(ESD) precautions while performing the system parts removal and replacement procedures:
— Work on a static-free mat.
— Wear a static strap to ensure that any accumulated electrostatic charge is discharged from your
body to the ground.
— Create a common ground for the equipment you are working on by connecting the static-free mat,
static strap, and peripheral units to that piece of equipment.
NOTE: HP accessories are for use in HP computer products. They have been extensively tested for
reliability and are manufactured to high quality standards.

Step 1—Preparing for component installation
NOTE: Computer models vary. All illustrations are examples only.
Accessing the internal components of the computer
1. If you need help preparing the computer for this installation, consult the removal and
replacement procedures in the service guide for your computer at http://www.hp.com/support/
manuals.
2. Power down the computer, and then disconnect the power cord.
3. Power down all external devices, and then disconnect them from the computer.
4. Remove the side access panel.
Removing components
▲If present, remove the card support to enable access to the expansion slots and system board
connectors.
Step 2—Identifying the internal USB connector
The Internal USB Cable can be installed in most HP Z and xw series Workstations. The cable
attaches to the internal USB header connector located on the computer system board. Installation of
the kit is slightly different for each computer model within the series due to system board design
differences.
Identify the internal USB header connector on the computer system board as follows:
1. Using the computer service label diagram (affixed to the inside of the side access panel,
removed previously), identify the internal USB header connector location on the system board.
NOTE: Some workstations have a second Internal USB connector (shown on the service label
diagram). The second Internal USB connector may have a Type A USB receptacle permanently
affixed to the header. This is an additional USB connector, located directly on the system board,
and is not used with this option kit.
2. Locate the internal USB header connector on the computer system board. This header has
either a 1x5- or 2x5-pin layout with exposed pins, depending on computer model.

Step 3—Installing the internal USB cable
Complete the following steps to install the internal USB cable, shown in the following figure.
Figure 1 Internal USB cable
1. Attach the internal USB cable 1x5-pin receptacle (
A
in the preceding figure) to the mating
exposed pins of the available 1x5- or 2x5-pin header connector (which ever is available) on the
system board:
1x5-pin header. When connecting the cable to a 1x5-pin header, carefully match the blank pin
position on the header to the blank pin position on the cable receptacle. The following figure
shows the pin blank pin position (pin 5) on the 1x5-pin header connector.
Figure 2 1x5-pin header showing the blank pin 5 key position
2x5-pin header. When connecting the internal USB cable to a 2x5-pin header connector on the
system board, carefully match the blank pin position on the header to the blank pin position on
the cable receptacle, and connect the cable receptacle to the keyed side only of the header
(containing pin positions 1, 3, 5, 7, and blank pin 9), as shown in the following figure.
Figure 3 2x5-pin header showing the correct alignment and blank pin 9 key position
CAUTION: Do not attempt to connect the internal USB cable receptacle to system board
header pins 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10. Damage might result to the header connector and cable
receptacle.

2. Attach a USB key or other USB device to the Type A receptacle on the other end of the internal
USB cable.
NOTE: Although the internal USB cable is intended for use with a USB Key, it can be used
with any USB device that has a compatible USB Type A male connector.
3. Using the adjustable strap with adhesive pad provided in the installation kit, affix the connected
USB key or device to the computer chassis, as desired. The following two figures show example
mounting options for a USB cable and device within the computer chassis.
Figure 4 Example 1 of attaching the internal USB cable
Figure 5 Example 2 of attaching the internal USB cable
CAUTION: Ensure that the USB device is not mounted in a location that might obstruct the
flow of cooling air within the chassis plenum.
