In summary, to prepare your workstation you must first: 1. Power down the workstation. 2. Disconnect power from the workstation. 3. Remove the workstation chassis access cover. For detailed product-specific information, refer to the Service and Technical Reference Guide for your HP workstation at http://www.hp.com/support/workstation_manuals. Step 2-Configuring the SFF hard drive carrier for SFF hard drives number 1, 2, and 3 Each SFF bay converter carrier consumes two 3.5-inch hard drive bays in the workstation. Before a bay converter SFF hard drive carrier (provided in the SFF bay converter kit) can be installed in a workstation, individual SFF hard drives (provided in SFF hard drive kits) must be loaded into the carrier.
