Before You Begin

Warnings and Cautions

• WARNING! Any surface or area of the equipment marked with this symbol indicates the presence of a hot surface or hot component. If this surface is contacted, the potential for injury exists. To reduce the risk of injury from a hot component, enable the surface to cool before touching.
• WARNING! Any surface or area of the equipment marked with this symbol indicates the presence of an electrical shock hazard. To reduce the risk of injury from electrical shock, do not open any enclosed area marked with this symbol.
• WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your equipment:
  • Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.
  • Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) outlet that is easily accessible at all times.
  • Disconnect power from the equipment by unplugging the power cord from the electrical outlet.
• WARNING! To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the Safety & Comfort Guide. It describes proper computer setup, posture, health, and work habits for computer users, and provides important electrical and mechanical safety information. This guide is located at http://www.hp.com/ergo and on the documentation CD (if one is included with the product).
• WARNING! If a product is shipped in packaging marked with this symbol, lifted by two persons to avoid personal injury due to product weight, the product must always be lifted by two persons.
• CAUTION: Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the computer. Before beginning these procedures, be sure you discharge static electricity by briefly touching a grounded metal object.
• CAUTION: To prevent damage to the computer, observe the following Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) precautions while performing the system parts removal and replacement procedures:
  • Work on a static-free mat.
  • Wear a static strap to ensure that any accumulated electrostatic charge is discharged from your body to the ground.
  • Create a common ground for the equipment you are working on by connecting the static-free mat, static strap, and peripheral units to that piece of equipment.
• NOTE: HP accessories are for use in HP computer products. They have been extensively tested for reliability and are manufactured to high quality standards.

   NOTE: To locate the HDD LED connector on the system board, see the System Board Overview on the service panel.

5. Insert the hooks on the back end of the PCI retainer into the slots on the back of the chassis (1) and lock the retainer in place by rotating it down into position (2).
   NOTE: The PCI retainer locks the PCI retention clamp in place.

Completing the installation

1. Reinstall the access panel.
2. Reconnect the AC power cord and turn on the workstation.

Configuring the computer

When powering up the computer after installation, a new hard drive identifies itself as uninitialized storage. See the operating system documentation for information about how to set up the new drive.

CAUTION: If you are installing an operating system image on the drive, remove all other storage devices. Verify that you installed this drive in the primary PCIe slot indicated for your workstation, and then install the operating system image before installing a second drive of the same type or reinstalling the other storage devices. The preferred slots are noted in the installation instructions for each computer. If you are using the drive as a data drive, you do not need to remove the other storage devices.

NOTE: Some operating systems automatically schedule defragmenting sessions. This offers no benefit for an SSD; therefore, the user can remove the automatic scheduling. This will also save energy.
