When installing additional 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 the first SATA optical drive to the white SATA connector on the system board labeled SATA1.

●Always populate the dark blue SATA0 and white SATA1 connectors before the light blue SATA4 and orange SATA5 connectors.

●Connect a second SATA optical drive to the orange SATA5 connector.

●Connect additional SATA hard drives to the next available (unpopulated) SATA connector on the system board in the following order: SATA0, SATA1, SATA5, SATA4.

●Connect a diskette drive to the connector labeled FLOPPY.

●Connect a media card reader to the USB connector labeled MEDIA.

●The system does not support Parallel ATA (PATA) optical drives or PATA hard drives.

●You may install either a third-height or a half-height drive into a half-height bay.

●You must install guide screws to ensure the drive will line up correctly in the drive cage and lock in place. HP has provided extra guide screws installed on the interior of the chassis frame next to the power supply. The hard drive uses 6-32 isolation mounting guide screws. All other drives use M3 metric screws. The HP-supplied metric guide screws (1) are black. The HP-supplied 6-32 isolation mounting guide screws (2) are silver and blue.
