B PATA Hard Drive Installation Guidelines ✎ For more information about Serial ATA (SATA) devices, refer to the white paper "Implementation of Serial ATA on HP Business Desktops". The white paper is located at www.hp.com/support. Using the Cable-Select Feature with Parallel ATA (PATA) Devices Optional drives are available from HP in kits that include a special drive cable. The configuration of the drive employs a cable-select feature that identifies the drive as device 0 (primary drive) or device 1 (secondary drive). Device 1 is the drive connected to the cable's middle connector. Device 0 is the drive connected to the cable's end connector (applies only to 80-conductor ATA cables). See "Guidelines for Installing PATA Drives" in this appendix for an example of an PATA cable. HP hard drives ship with jumpers preset to cable-select mode; therefore, no jumper setting changes on the existing or optional drives are required. If you purchase a third-party hard drive, refer to the documentation included with the kit to ensure proper installation and configuration of cables. ✎ If installing a second device on the primary controller, you must use an 80-conductor PATA cable for optimal performance. This cable is standard on select models. Guidelines for Installing PATA Drives When installing additional drives, follow these guidelines: Hardware Reference Guide www.hp.com B-1
