Warnings and cautions
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! 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! 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.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the Safety & Comfort Guide. It describes proper
workstation 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).
CAUTION: Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the workstation. Before
beginning these procedures, be sure you discharge static electricity by briefly touching a grounded metal
object.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the workstation, 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 Workstation products. They have been extensively tested
for reliability and are manufactured to high quality standards.

Step 1—Preparing for component installation
NOTE: Workstation models vary. All illustrations are examples only.
Accessing the internal components of the workstation
1. If you need help preparing the workstation for this installation, consult the removal and replacement
procedures in the service guide for your workstation at http://www.hp.com/support/
workstation_manuals.
NOTE: For the HP Workstation series, these procedures are also available in the User
Guide on the Documentation and Diagnostics CD that shipped with your workstation.
2. Power down the workstation, and then disconnect the power cord.
3. Power down all external devices, and then disconnect them from the workstation.
4. Remove the side access panel.
Removing components
1. If installing in an HP 800 Workstation, remove the airflow guide to enable access to the optical
bays.
2. If present, remove the card support to enable access to the system board connectors.
3. Remove the front bezel if applicable.
NOTE: The front bezel does not need to be removed on HP 600 and HP 800 Workstations.
4. Remove the filler from the lowest available optical drive bay.

Step 2—Installing the hard disk drive
1. When connecting a SAS hard drive, verify a SAS-to-SATA interconnect cable adapter (supplied
with the HP workstation SAS hard drive kit) is attached to the data connector on the SAS hard
drive.
Figure 1 Attaching the SAS-to-SATA adapter
2. For HP 400 Workstation series only, install 4 black M3 guide screws suppled in the kit in the 4
lower holes on the bracket.

3. To prepare the hard drive to be inserted in the drive bracket:
a. Remove the green rails from the bracket by squeezing the tabs and sliding the rails out of the
bracket.
b. Orient the drive with the connectors on the rear of the drive facing toward the tabs on the
bracket rails.
c. Gently open the rails .

Step 3—Configuring the cabling
In HP 600 and HP 800 Workstations, if the internal bays are not filled to capacity, the pre-installed
blind-mate data cables for the unused internal hard drive bays must be unplugged from the system
board, to enable the proper connection of the hard drives installed in this bracket. After all internal and
optical bay hard drives are connected, the blind mate cabling may be reconnected to the next available
ports on the system board.
NOTE: To locate connectors on the system board, see the service label on the side access panel.
Connect the power and data cables.
1. Locate the optical device power supply cable and connect it to the hard drive .
2. Select the SATA interconnect data cable from those supplied with the hard drive kit that best fits
the hardware configuration of the workstation.
3. Connect one end of the data cable to the hard drive
2
.
4. Connect the opposite end of the data cable to the system board or compatible RAID controller card.
Always start with the lowest numbered port connector available on the system board.
NOTE: The HP 800 Workstation has both SATA and SAS connectors on the system board.
• SATA hard drives are plugged into SATA ports, starting with SATA0
• SAS hard drives are plugged into SAS ports, starting with SAS0

Step 4—Reassembling the workstation
1. Reinstall the front bezel, if applicable.
2. Reinstall the card support, if applicable.
3. Reinstall the airflow guide, if applicable.
4. Reinstall the side access panel.
5. Reconnect power to the workstation and all external devices.
6. Restore power to the workstation and all external devices.
Step 5—Setting up the operating system
When powering up the workstation after installation, a new hard drive identifies itself as un-initialized
storage. Consult the operating system documentation for information about how to set up the new drive.
If hard drives are connected to a RAID device, see the RAID documentation for additional setup
information.
