Installing Additional Drives When installing additional drives, follow these guidelines: ● The primary Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive must be connected to the dark blue primary SATA connector on the system board labeled SATA1. ● Connect the SATA optical drive to the white SATA connector on the system board labeled SATA2. ● The system does not support Parallel ATA (PATA) optical drives or PATA hard drives. ● If needed, HP has provided extra drive retainer screws on the front of the chassis under the hard drive cage. Hard drives use 6-32 standard screws. All other drives use M3 metric screws. The HP-supplied M3 metric guide screws (1) are black. The HP-supplied 6-32 standard screws (1) are silver. Figure 7-17 Extra Drive Retainer Screws Location CAUTION: To prevent loss of work and damage to the computer or drive: If you are inserting or removing a drive, shut down the operating system properly, turn off the computer, and unplug the power cord. Do not remove a drive while the computer is on or in standby mode. Before handling a drive, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity. While handling a drive, avoid touching the connector. Handle a drive carefully; do not drop it. Do not use excessive force when inserting a drive. Avoid exposing a hard drive to liquids, temperature extremes, or products that have magnetic fields such as monitors or speakers. If a drive must be mailed, place the drive in a bubble-pack mailer or other protective packaging and label the package "Fragile: Handle With Care." 102 Chapter 7 Removal and Replacement Procedures Small Form Factor (SFF) Chassis
