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.
Step 2—Installing the DX115 case into the optical drive
bay
See the steps for the applicable computer model in the following sections.
CAUTION: Insert or remove the carrier (with a disk drive) only when the workstation is shut down.
Other procedures may result in system hangs, data loss, or even drive damage. The component
supplier’s user guide describes a procedure for inserting or removing the carrier (with drive) while the
workstation is booted and then powering the drive via the power switch on the enclosure. Microsoft
Windows XP and Windows Vista do not support this action.
NOTE: The CRU Dataport DX115 does not fit in all optical drive bays. It is longer than most optical
drives. Choose the optical bay for the CRU Dataport DX115 which best fits your computer
configuration.
CAUTION: HP computer SAS disk drives are configured with a SAS to SATA adapter. To ensure
proper connection, remove the adapter before continuing with installation, as shown in the figure
below.

2. If necessary, remove the optical disk drive blank from the bezel:
a. On the inside of the bezel, push the two retaining tabs toward the outer edge of the bezel
(1)
b. Slide the bezel blank back away from the bezel and to the left to remove it (2).
Figure 4 Removing the bezel blank
3. If an existing optical disk drive is present, remove it:
a. Rotate the drive cage to its upright position.

b. Disconnect the power cable (1) and data cable (2) from the rear of the optical drive.
Figure 6 Removing the cables
c. Rotate the drive cage back down to its normal position.
CAUTION: Check clearances on the cables when you rotate the drive cage. The cage
may pinch the cables and damage them if they are not routed correctly.
d. Press down on the green drive retainer button located on the left side of the drive to
disengage the drive from the drive cage. While pressing the drive retainer button, slide the
drive back until it stops, then lift it up and out of the drive cage.

8. If the cables are not already routed and attached to the system board:
a. Connect the SATA data cable to the system board connector labeled SATA1.
b. Route the data cable through the cable guides to keep the data cable from being pinched
by the drive cage when raising or lowering it. One guide is located on the bottom side of the
drive cage. The other is part of the chassis frame under the drive cage. Route the data
cable through these guides before connecting it to the optical drive.

Step 3—Installing a hard disk in the DX115 carrier
Some product options may require you to install a hard drive in the DX115 carrier. For additional
information, see:
●The CRU Dataport DX115 User’s Guide for SATA or SAS removable drive enclosures
●The CRU Dataport website at http://www.cru-dataport.com/htmldocs/products/dataexpress/
dx115.html
CAUTION: Insert or remove the carrier (with a disk drive) only when the workstation is shut down.
Other procedures may result in system hangs, data loss, or even drive damage. The component
supplier’s user guide describes a procedure for inserting or removing the carrier (with drive) while the
workstation is booted and then powering the drive via the power switch on the enclosure. Microsoft
Windows XP and Windows Vista do not support this action.
NOTE: You do not have to remove the DX115 case from the computer for this step.
To install the hard drive:
1. Remove the locking screws from the sides of the carrier.
Figure 28 Removing the locking screws
2. Remove the carrier cover by raising the front end of the cover (1) and pulling it away from the
slot in the rear of the carrier (2).
Figure 29 Removing the carrier cover
3. Orient the drive so that the data and power connectors face the rear of the carrier.
4. Place the drive into the front end of the carrier.

5. Slide the drive all the way to the rear end of the carrier so that the power and data connectors
mate with the carrier adapter.
Figure 30 Installing the drive
6. Replace the cover by aligning the tab on the rear of the cover with the slot on the rear of the
carrier (1) and then rotating the front of the cover onto the carrier (2).
Figure 31 Replacing the cover
7. Replace the locking screws in the sides of the carrier.

Step 4—Completing the computer assembly
CAUTION: Insert or remove the carrier (with a disk drive) only when the workstation is shut down.
Other procedures may result in system hangs, data loss, or even drive damage. The component
supplier’s user guide describes a procedure for inserting or removing the carrier (with drive) while the
workstation is booted and then powering the drive via the power switch on the enclosure. Microsoft
Windows XP and Windows Vista do not support this action.
1. After the drive case is installed in the computer, insert the drive carrier into the case.
a. Press on the left side of the handle (1) to open the door.
b. Insert the drive carrier.
c. If shipping or moving the computer, lock the carrier by inserting the key (2) and turning it
counterclockwise (3).
CAUTION: Always lock the drive before shipping or moving the computer. Failure to do so
might result in damage to your removable hard drive system.
Figure 33 Locking the carrier
2. Connect the power (1) and data (2) cables to the primary (upper) ports on the unit.
Figure 34 Power and data ports
18 CRU Dataport DX115 kit installation ENWW

3. Connect the opposite end of the data cable to the appropriate connector on the system board or
controller card.
●Connect SATA drives to SATA ports, and SAS drives to SAS ports, starting with the lowest-
numbered available port.
●For HP Z400 and Z600 computers, the blind-mate cables for the internal hard drive bays
may require adjustment at the system board, based on the computer drive configuration.
Consult the User Guide or the Maintenance and Service Guide for your computer for
additional information.
4. To prepare your installed hard drive for operation, see the appropriate hard drive documentation.
5. Replace the computer bezel and bezel security screw, if applicable.
