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 drive
1. The hard drive bracket accommodates two SFF hard drives. To prepare the hard drives 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 .
d. Lower the drive into the rails
2
. Align the four pins on the rails with the holes in the hard drive,
and then snap the rails into place.

2. To install a hard drive in the optical drive bracket, gently squeeze the green tabs while sliding
the drive with rails into the bracket

3. To install the bracket in the workstation:
a. Lift and hold the optical bay release latch while inserting the bracket into the optical bay
2
.
b. Align the bracket at a slight angle, insert the upper rear edge in the bay, then lower the drive
to a level position.

c. Slide the drive into the bay, releasing the latch just before the drive is fully-seated, allowing
the latch pins to engage.

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 might have to 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: Some workstations have both SATA and SAS connectors on the system board.
• SATA hard drives are plugged into SATA ports, starting with SATA-0.
• SAS hard drives are plugged into SAS ports, starting with SAS-0.
• If there are not enough SATA connectors available on the system board, move the data cables for all
installed optical and other externally-removable SATA devices to SAS connectors.
NOTE: To locate connectors on the system board, see the service label on the side access panel.
1. Connect the supplied Y-adapter power cable to the power connectors on the SFF hard drives .
2. Locate the optical device power supply cable and connect it to the Y-adapter power cable
2
.
3. Select the SATA interconnect data cable from those supplied with the hard drive kit that best fits
the hardware configuration of the workstation.
4. Connect one end of the data cable to the hard drive .
5. Connect the opposite end of the data cable to the system board. Start with the lowest numbered
port connector available on the system board.
ENWW Step 3—Configuring the cabling 5

6. Repeat the data cable connection for the second hard drive.

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.
