Step 1—Preparing for component installation
NOTE: Workstation models vary. All illustrations are examples only.
Accessing the internal components of the workstation
1. If you need help preparing the workstation for this installation, consult the removal and replacement
procedures in the service guide for your workstation at
http://www.hp.com/support/
workstation_manuals.
NOTE: For the HP Workstation series, these procedures are also available in the User
Guide on the Documentation and Diagnostics CD that shipped with your workstation.
2. Power down the workstation, and then disconnect the power cord.
3. Power down all external devices, and then disconnect them from the workstation.
4. Remove the side access panel.
Step 2—Installing the DX115 case into the optical drive bay
See the steps for the applicable workstation model in the following sections.
CAUTION: Insert or remove the carrier (with a disk drive) only when the workstation is shut down.
Other procedures may result in system hangs, data loss, or even drive damage. The component
supplier’s user guide describes a procedure for inserting or removing the carrier (with drive) while the
workstation is booted and then powering the drive via the power switch on the enclosure. Microsoft
Windows XP and Windows Vista do not support this action.
NOTE: The CRU Dataport DX115 does not fit in all optical drive bays. It is longer than most optical
drives. Choose the optical bay for the CRU Dataport DX115 which best fits your workstation
configuration.
CAUTION: HP workstation SAS disk drives are configured with a SAS to SATA adapter. To ensure
proper connection, you must remove the adapter before continuing with installation. This is shown in
the figure below.
