3. Connect the power cable (1) and data cable (2) to the hard drive. CAUTION: Connect the power cable before connecting the data cable to reduce the risk of damage to the drive due to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). Figure 6 Connecting the power and data cables CAUTION: Connect the primary hard drive to the connector on the system board labeled SATA 0 or SAS 0, depending on hard drive type. Connect a second hard drive to the SATA 1 or SAS 1 connector. Connect a third hard drive to the SATA 2 or SAS 2 connector and a fourth hard drive to the SATA 3 or SAS 3 connector. 4. Connect the opposite end of the data cable to the system board. HP Z600 and Z800 Workstations The internal hard drive bays on HP Z600 and HP Z800 Workstations have pre-installed power and data connectors at the back of the bay and do not require SAS-to-SATA adapters or additional power and data connections. ● The blind-mate data cables might require adjustment at the system board, based on the computer drive configuration. Verify that the blind-mate cable from the applicable hard drive bay is connected to an appropriate connector in the system board. NOTE: The pre-installed blind-mate data cables for workstations with both SATA and SAS connectors on the system board are factory-configured according to the following rules: • The primary hard drive is connected to the system board connector labeled SATA-0 or SAS-0, depending on hard drive type. • 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 the LAST HDD is SATA, cables from empty HDD bays are plugged into SATA ports. If the LAST hard drive is SAS, cables from empty hard drive bays are plugged into SAS ports. ● When mixing SATA and SAS hard drive types, verify that the hard drive data cable is connected to the system board in a manner consistent with the drive type and rules above.
