When installing 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 SATA0.
●
Connect secondary hard drives and optical drives to one of the remaining SATA connectors on the
system board (labeled SATA1 and SATA2).
●
HP has provided four extra 6-32 hard drive mounting screws installed on the front of the chassis next to
the hard drive bays (1). If you are replacing a hard drive, remove the mounting screws from the old drive
and install them in the new drive.
