HP xw Workstations - SATA optical drive installation

CAUTION: Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the workstation or optional
equipment. Before beginning these procedures, ensure that you are static-free by briefly touching
a grounded metal object. In addition, avoid touching any exposed metal on the option board/chip
or on the workstation's circuit boards. Refer to the “Regulatory notices” section later in this
document for additional information.
2. Remove the flat bezel blank from the front bezel of the appropriate drive bay. The bezel blank is
the small panel that covers the drive bay opening when a drive is not installed in that bay.
3. Remove the EMI filler (if one is installed). The EMI filter is a thin metal piece blocking the bay
opening in order to reduce electromagnetic emissions.
4. If your optical drive requires guide screws, use the four M3 guide screws provided as part of the
installation kit. Install two M3 guide screws into each side of the drive, as shown below, using a
Torx T-15 screwdriver.
NOTE: Some workstations, such as the xw6400, xw8400, and xw9400 do not require these guide
screws.
5. Slide the optical drive completely into a drive bay so that the drive is secured. On some workstation
models, you will need to lift the spring-loaded latch on the left side of the optical drive cage while
sliding the new drive in place.
