Installing Additional Drives
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 SATA optical drive to the red SATA connector on the system board labeled SATA4.
●
Connect a diskette drive to the connector labeled FLOPPY.
●
Connect a media card reader to the USB connector labeled F_USB2.
●
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.

If needed, HP has provided extra drive retainer screws on the front of the chassis under the hard
drive cage. Hard drives use 6-32 standard screws. All other drives use M3 metric screws. The HP-
supplied M3 metric guide screws (1) are black. The HP-supplied 6-32 standard screws (2) are
silver.
