5. Connect the optical disk drive data cable to the appropriate and available SATA port on the system board as shown in the following figure (example shows HP Z600 Workstation). NOTE: All HP Z800 Workstation optical disk drives should be connected to either SATA or SAS system board connectors. If there are not enough SATA connectors to accommodate all drives, then connect all drives to the SAS system board connectors. Refer to the workstation service label on the side access panel for SATA and SAS connector locations. Figure 10-5 Connecting the ODD data cable to the system board 6. Replace all components that were removed in preparation for component installation. Notice for Blu-ray optical drives If you installed a Blu-ray optical drive, note the following: Blu-ray movie playback As Blu-ray is a new format containing new technologies, certain disc, digital connection, compatibility and/or performance issues may arise, and do not constitute defects in the product. Flawless playback on all systems is not guaranteed. In order for some Blu-ray titles to play, they may require a DVI or HDMI digital connection and your display may require HDCP support. HD-DVD movies cannot be played on this workstation. Blu-ray movie playback compatibility and update Playing back Blu-ray HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) content such as commercially distributed Blu-ray HD movies requires a fully HDCP compliant path on your computer. The HDCP technology checks compliance of each component in the path from the content on the Blu-ray disc all the way to the display monitor, including but not limited to graphic cards and monitor adapters. The HP Z400, Z600 and Z800 Workstations have been designed with this in mind; nearly all configurations with currently available HP Professional Displays are compliant. Older HP xw4600 and xw9400 Workstation configurations may not have fully compliant paths based on the installed graphics card and display monitor; HP recommends confirming separately that you have a fully compliant system if commercial content playback is a requirement for your use. HDCP compatibility of your graphics card and monitor can be determined by checking the QuickSpecs at http://www.hp.com/go/productbulletin. ENWW Notice for Blu-ray optical drives 61

Notice for Blu-ray optical drives
If you installed a Blu-ray optical drive, note the following:
Blu-ray movie playback
As Blu-ray is a new format containing new technologies, certain disc, digital connection, compatibility
and/or performance issues may arise, and do not constitute defects in the product. Flawless playback
on all systems is not guaranteed. In order for some Blu-ray titles to play, they may require a DVI or HDMI
digital connection and your display may require HDCP support. HD-DVD movies cannot be played on
this workstation.
Blu-ray movie playback compatibility and update
Playing back Blu-ray HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) content such as commercially
distributed Blu-ray HD movies requires a fully HDCP compliant path on your computer. The HDCP
technology checks compliance of each component in the path from the content on the Blu-ray disc all
