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 SATA0 connector on the system board. ● Connect the first SATA optical drive to the white SATA1 connector on the system board. ● Always populate the dark blue and white connectors before the light blue and orange connectors. ● 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 interior of the front bezel that are used to secure the drives in the 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 HPsupplied 6-32 standard screws (2) are silver. Figure 6-15 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." Drives 53
