4 Serial ATA (SATA) drive guidelines and

routine care and disassembly preparation

This chapter provides general service information for the computer. Adherence to the procedures and

precautions described in this chapter is essential for proper service.

CAUTION: When the computer is plugged into an AC power source, voltage is always applied to the system

board. You must disconnect the power cord from the power source before opening the computer to prevent

system board or component damage.

NOTE: HP only supports the use of SATA hard drives on these models of computer. No Parallel ATA (PATA)

drives are supported.

SATA hard drives

Serial ATA Hard Drive Characteristics

Number of pins/conductors in data cable 7/7

Number of pins in power cable 15

Maximum data cable length 39.37 in (100 cm)

Data interface voltage dierential 400-700 mV

Drive voltages 3.3 V, 5 V, 12 V

Jumpers for conguring drive N/A

SATA hard drive cables

SATA data cable

Always use an HP approved SATA 3.0 Gb/s cable as it is fully backwards compatible with the SATA 1.5 Gb/s

drives.

Current HP desktop products ship with SATA 3.0 Gb/s hard drives.

SATA data cables are susceptible to damage if overexed. Never crease a SATA data cable and never bend it

tighter than a 30 mm (1.18 in) radius.

The SATA data cable is a thin, 7-pin cable designed to transmit data for only a single drive.
