Step 1—Preparing for component installation NOTE: Computer models vary. All illustrations are examples only. Accessing the internal components of the computer 1. If you need help preparing the computer for this installation, refer to the: ● Removal and replacement procedures in the Maintenance and Service Guide for your computer at http://www.hp.com/support/manuals, or ● Removal and replacement videos applicable to your specific computer at http://www.hp.com/go/sml. 2.

Step 2—Preparing and installing the hard drive Identify your installation type from among the following types of internal hard drive installations detailed in the following sections. To install a hard drive in the external drive bays, refer to the removal and replacement videos applicable to your specific computer at http://www.hp.com/go/sml. 1. Computers with drive carriers that provide blind-mate docking. 2. Computers with carrier rails that snap onto the hard drive. 3.

Computers with drive carriers that provide blind-mate docking 1. If a card support interferes with access to the system board connectors, remove it. 2. Remove the drive carrier from the highest empty internal hard drive bay: a. Open the handle at the green touch-point (1). b. Slide thehard drive carrier out of the bay (2). Figure 1 Removing the hard drive carrier 3. Install the hard drive in the carrier: a. Position the carrier with the handle end down. b.

4. Slide the drive carrier firmly into the hard drive bay, rotating the handle to snap it closed. 5. Power and data connectors are pre-installed at the back of the bay. SAS-to-SATA adapters or cables or additional power and data connections are not required. The pre-installed data cables might require adjustment at the system board, based on the computer drive (SATA or SAS) configuration.

Computers that use guide screws installed in the hard drive NOTE: In some computers, such as the HP Z200 SFF or HP Z210 SFF Workstations, you may need to temporarily remove the optical drive to install the hard drive. See the service guide for your workstation at http://www.hp.com/support/manuals. 1. If a card support interferes with access to the system board connectors, remove it. 2. Install four guide screws into the holes near the corners on the sides of the hard drive.

Installing a 2.5-inch SATA/SAS/SSD drive into an adaptive carrier 1. Secure the drive into the carrier, as shown in Figure 5. Figure 5 Install the drive into the carrier 2. Install the carrier into the computer using one of the four drive installation procedures previously detailed. Step 3—Connecting the power and data cables Follow the instructions for the correct type of drive being installed. SAS drives require installation of an adaptive interface before completing power and data connections.

Step 4—Reassembling the computer 1. Reinstall the card support, if applicable. 2. Reinstall the side access panel. 3. Reconnect power to the computer and all external devices. 4. Restore power to the computer and all external devices. Step 5—Configuring the computer When powering up the computer after installation, a new hard drive identifies itself as an uninitialized storage. Consult the operating system documentation for information about how to set up the new drive.
