HP SATA/SAS hard drive and Solid State Drive installation

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.

IMPORTANT: For disk drives or RAID volumes greater than 2TB, create a GUID Partition Table (GPT)

partition. Consult your operating system documentation for instructions. Booting from a GPT volume

requires support in the system BIOS.

NOTE: Some operating systems such as Microsoft® Windows Vista® automatically schedule

defragmenting sessions. This offers no benefit for an SSD, therefore the user can remove the automatic

scheduling. This will also save energy. Go into Control Panel, select Control Panel Home, and then

select System and Maintenance. In the Administrative Tools area select Defragment your hard drive.

Select Volumes and then clear the check box for any SSD disks or volumes.
