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.
Installing the drive
CAUTION: There might be drive length limitations for some drive bays in certain workstations. Ensure
that the optical device does not come in contact with the system board or crush diskette drive cables.
1. Select the highest available optical bay position on the workstation that fits the length of the optical
device being installed.
NOTE: The HP SATA Blu-ray Writer does not fit in all removable drive bays. It is longer than most
optical drives. Choose the optical bay for the Blu-ray drive which best fits your workstation
configuration.
2. Remove the filler tray or the flat bezel blank from the front bezel of the appropriate drive bay. The
bezel blank is the small panel that covers the drive bay opening when a drive is not installed in the
bay.
3. Remove the EMI filler (if one is installed). The EMI filter is a thin metal piece blocking the bay
opening that reduces electromagnetic emissions.

4. If your optical drive requires guide screws, use the four M3 guide screws provided as part of the
installation kit. Install two M3 guide screws into each side of the drive using a T-15 Torx screwdriver.
NOTE: Some workstations, such as HP 600, 800, xw6600, xw8600, and xw9400
Workstations do not require guide screws.
5. Install the optical drive.
a. On some workstation models, you will need to lift the spring-loaded latch on the left side of
the optical drive cage while sliding the new drive in place.
b. Slide the optical drive completely into a drive bay so that the drive is secured

.
CAUTION: Failure to ensure that the optical drive has been properly secured may cause damage
to the drive when moving the workstation. For specific instructions on securing an optional drive,
see the service guide for your workstation at http://www.hp.com/support/workstation_manuals.
6. Connect the cables.
CAUTION: Connect the power cable before connecting the data cable to reduce the risk of
damage to the drive due to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD).
a. Connect the workstation optical power supply power cable to the drive.
b. Connect the SATA interface cable
2
between the drive and the next available SATA
connector on the workstation system board.
NOTE: To locate system board connectors, see the service label on the side access panel.
NOTE: Select an interface cable from the kit that best fits the configuration of your HP
workstation. Choose a cable with two straight connectors if possible. If you are using an
interface cable with a right angle connector, avoid interference with plug-in cards by attaching
the straight connector into the system board and the right angle connector into the device.

Notice for Blu-ray optical drives
If you installed a Blu-ray optical drive, note the following:
Blu-ray movie playback
As Blu-ray is a new format containing new technologies, certain disc, digital connection, compatibility
and/or performance issues may arise, and do not constitute defects in the product. Flawless playback
on all systems is not guaranteed. In order for some Blu-ray titles to play, they may require a DVI or HDMI
digital connection and your display may require HDCP support. HD-DVD movies cannot be played on
this workstation.
Blu-ray movie playback compatibility and update
Playing back Blu-ray HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) content such as commercially
distributed Blu-ray HD movies requires a fully HDCP compliant path on your computer. The HDCP
technology checks compliance of each component in the path from the content on the Blu-ray disc all
the way to the display monitor, including but not limited to graphic cards and monitor adapters.
The HP 400, 600 and 800 Workstations have been designed with this in mind; nearly all
configurations with currently available HP Professional Displays are compliant. Older HP xw4600 and
xw9400 Workstation configurations may not have fully compliant paths based on the installed graphics
card and display monitor; HP recommends confirming separately that you have a fully compliant system
if commercial content playback is a requirement for your use. HDCP compatibility of your graphics card
and monitor can be determined by checking the QuickSpecs at http://www.hp.com/go/productbulletin.
For the best HDCP performance, HP recommends that you install the latest updates:
1. Blu-ray player firmware
2. Playback application patches
3. Graphics firmware and drivers
Updates are located on the support web site for your specific product at http://www.hp.com/support/
workstations.
