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 first SATA optical drive to the white SATA connector on the system board labeled SATA2. ● Connect a second SATA optical drive to the orange SATA4 connector. ● Connect a second SATA hard drive to the light blue SATA3 connector. ● Connect a diskette drive to the connector labeled FLOPPY. ● Connect a media card reader to the USB connector labeled F_USB2. ● The system does not support Parallel ATA (PATA) optical drives or PATA hard drives. ● You may install either a third-height or a half-height drive into a half-height bay. ● 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 6-32 standard screws (1) are silver. The HP-supplied M3 metric guide screws (2) are black.
