Warnings and cautions
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 in 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! 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! If a product is shipped in packaging marked with this symbol, , the product must always
be lifted by two persons to avoid personal injury due to product weight.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the Safety & Comfort Guide. It describes proper
workstation 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).
CAUTION: Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the workstation. Before
beginning these procedures, be sure you discharge static electricity by briefly touching a grounded metal
object.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the workstation, 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 Workstation products. They have been extensively tested
for reliability and are manufactured to high quality standards.

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.
Removing components
1. If present, remove the card support to enable access to the expansion slots and system board
connectors.
2. Select an available expansion slot or mechanical bulkhead slot and remove the slot cover. The
eSATA adapter can be installed in any unused slot.
NOTE: To identify an available PCIe expansion slot, see the service label on the side access
panel.
Figure 1 Removing the expansion slot cover
ENWW Step 1—Preparing for component installation 3
Step 2—Installing and connecting the eSATA adapter
NOTE: To locate the appropriate connectors on the system board, see the service label on the
workstation access panel.
1. Insert the eSATA adapter into the selected slot with the two SATA connector cables protruding
inside the workstation chassis .
2. Close the expansion slot retention clamp

3. Connect the two eSATA adapter cables to two available SATA ports on the workstation system
board. On HP xw 6600 and HP xw 8600 Workstations, the red-colored SATA connectors are
designated for eSATA use.
NOTE: If only one SATA port is available or if using only one eSATA device, connect only a single
eSATA adapter cable and secure the unused cable so that it does not interfere with operation of
other components within the workstation. Note which cable port is active for external device
connection.
4. Note the system board SATA port numbers used. You need this information for system BIOS setup.
Step 3—Reassembling the workstation
1. Reinstall the card support, if applicable.
2. Reinstall the side access panel.
3. Reconnect external devices and power cord.
4. To enable external eSATA devices at this time, go to Step 4—Connecting eSATA devices to the
workstation on page 4and Step 5—Setting the system BIOS for eSATA operation
on page 5. Otherwise, you can restore power to the workstation and all external devices.
Step 4—Connecting eSATA devices to the workstation
Follow the manufacturer's instructions when connecting eSATA devices to the HP eSATA adapter.

Step 5—Setting the system BIOS for eSATA operation
HP Workstations
To access the Computer Setup (F10) Utility menu:
1. Power on or restart the workstation.
2. As soon as your display is active and F10=Setup appears in the lower right corner of the screen,
press F10.
NOTE: If you do not press F10 at the appropriate time, turn the workstation off, turn it on, and
then press F10 again to access the utility. You can also press the Ctrl + Alt + Delete keys before
boot if you miss the opportunity to press F10.
3. Select your language from the list, and press the Enter key.
In the Computer Setup (F10) Utility menu, five headings are displayed: File, Storage, Security,
Power, and Advanced.
4. To designate the SATA port for the first drive connected to the eSATA adapter as external, and
change the port drive strength:
NOTE: Use the left and right arrow keys to select the appropriate heading, use the up and down
arrow keys to select an option, and then press Enter.
a. Use the arrow keys to scroll to Storage >Storage Option >SATA PORT (port number),
where (port number) is the number of the port you are connecting, recorded in Step 2—
Installing and connecting the eSATA adapter on page 4.
b. Use the arrow keys to select (eSATA).
c. The SATA speed is auto-negotiated, based on the hard drive capabilities. To downgrade a
GEN2 hard drive from 3.0 Gbps to a slower speed, use the arrow keys to select GEN 2/1.5
Gbps.
NOTE: GEN 1 drives auto-negotiate to the slower 1.5 Gbps port speed.
5. To set the SATA port speed for a second port, repeat the previous step.
CAUTION: Do not power off the workstation while the ROM is saving your Computer Setup (F10)
Utility changes, because the Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) might become
corrupted. After you exit the F10 Setup screen, you can disconnect power from the workstation.
6. To apply and save changes, select File >Save Changes.
7. Select F10=YES.
ENWW Step 5—Setting the system BIOS for eSATA operation 5
HP xw Workstations
To access the Computer Setup (F10) Utility menu:
1. Power up the workstation.
2. Press F10 as soon as your display is active and you see F10=Setup appear in the lower-right
corner of the screen.
NOTE: If you do not press F10 at the appropriate time, turn the workstation off, turn it on, and
then press F10 again to access the utility. You can also press the Ctrl + Alt + Delete keys before
boot if you miss the opportunity to press F10.
3. Select your language from the list, and press the Enter key.
4. Set the SATA/eSATA port speed for each port connect to the eSATA adapter. Omit the steps for
an eSATA port that is not connected to the eSATA adapter.
5. Use the arrow keys to scroll to Storage >Storage Option >SATA/eSATA Speed Port4 Setup.
6. Use the arrow keys to select GEN1/1.5Gbps (eSATA).
7. Use the arrow keys to scroll to Storage >Storage Option >SATA/eSATA Speed Port5 Setup.
