Standard data cable connections
This section applies to SAS hard drives installed in all optical bays and the internal hard drive bays of
HP xw Workstations and HP
400 Workstations.
1. If connecting a SAS hard drive, ensure that there is a SAS-to-SATA interconnect cable adapter
(supplied with the HP workstation SAS hard drive kit) to the data connector on the SAS hard drive.

To choose a cable, see
Table 1 Data cable configuration guide on page 5.

For standard cable connections, hard drives located in the internal bays and hard drives
located in the optical bays may share a long 4-port data cable.

To connect a hard drive in the fifth internal bay on HP xw8000 and xw9000 Workstations, use
the 4-port data cable with straight connectors.
