processor, causing extensive system damage.

— Processor socket pins are delicate and bend easily. Use extreme care when placing the processor

in the socket.

2 SATA optical drive installation ENWW

CAUTION: To prevent damage to this system, observe the following Electro Static Discharge (ESD)

precautions while performing the system parts removal/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. HP, therefore, warrants only those

accessories that are manufactured or sold by HP.

Electrostatic discharge

Discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor can damage system boards or other static-

sensitive devices. This type of damage could reduce the life expectancy of the device.

Preventing electrostatic damage

To prevent electrostatic discharge damage, observe the following precautions:

●Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing parts in static-safe containers.

●Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free work areas.

●Place parts container on a grounded surface before removing parts from their container.

●Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry of parts or workstations.

●Always ensure you are properly grounded before touching an electrostatic-sensitive component or

assembly.

Grounding methods

There are several methods for grounding. Use one or more of the following measures when handling

or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:

●Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation chassis. Wrist straps are

flexible straps with a minimum of 1 meg. ohm +/- 10 percent resistance in the ground cords. To

provide a proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.

●Use heelstraps, toestraps, or bootstraps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both feet

when standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.

●Use conductive field service tools.

●Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat. If you do not have any of

the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have an authorized dealer, reseller, or service

provider install the part.

NOTE: For additional information on static electricity or for assistance with the installation of this

product, contact an authorized dealer, reseller, or service provider.

Configuration rules and assumptions when installing both

SATA and PATA optical disk drives in the same

workstation

This section provides information on the sequence in which the workstation detects and assigns ODD

IDs and drive letters when both SATA and PATA ODDs are installed on a workstation. It also provides

configuration rules that determine which SATA ports are functional and which ports can be used to

update system BIOS.

Drive detection and assignment sequence

When mixing PATA and SATA ODDs in a workstation, the PATA optical drive will always be detected

first by the system. For example, if the first ODD is a SATA drive and second ODD a PATA drive, the

system will detect the PATA ODD drive first. This will generally result in the PATA ODD being assigned

the lower drive ID or drive designation letter by the operating system.

Workstation SATA port configuration rules

Port configuration rules are determined individually by workstation product as shown in the following

subsection.

xw9400 Workstation BIOS configuration

When the xw9400 Workstation is set to RAID Mode in BIOS, any SATA ports that have an ODD

connected to them must have RAID turned off.

xw8400 Workstation, xw6400 Workstation, xw4400 Workstation, xw6600 Workstation,

and xw8600 Workstation SATA configuration mode settings

When the SATA Configuration Mode for these workstations is set to:

●Separate Mode - Only SATA ports 0, 1, 2, and 3 are functional for any SATA devices.

●Combined Mode - Only SATA ports 0 and 2 are functional for any SATA devices.

●RAID/AHCI Mode - You will not be able to update system BIOS from the SATA ODD.

●Combined Mode or Separate Mode - BIOS can be updated using a SATA ODD attached to

functional ports.

NOTE: The xw4550 Workstation and xw4600 Workstation do not support PATA optical disk drives.

Preparing for installation

Before beginning installation of the SATA ODD, ensure that the installation kit contains all necessary

items, that you have the required tools, that you understand the necessary precautions, and that you

have prepared the workstation, as described in the following subsections.

Tools required

You may need the following to install the optical drive:

●Torx T-15 screwdriver or flat-bladed screwdriver

Precautions for handling the drive and discs

Observe all precautions when handling the drive and discs, as listed below:

●Do not use worn, cracked, warped, or poor quality discs in the optical drive.

●Look for cracks in the clear plastic area in the center of the disc. If cracks are present, do not use

the disc in the optical drive.

●Do not affix any adhesive labels to the disc surface. Affixing an adhesive label on the disc can

cause damage to the disc and/or optical drive.

●Do not drop the disc or subject it to physical shock.

●Do not put the disc in a location subject to dust, direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, or high

humidity.

●Do not move the drive during operation. Doing so may cause it to malfunction during reading.

●Avoid exposing the drive to sudden changes in temperature, as condensation may form inside the

unit. If the temperature suddenly changes while the drive is on, wait at least one hour before you

remove the power. If you operate the unit immediately, it may malfunction while reading.

●Avoid placing the drive in a location that is subject to high humidity, extreme temperatures,

mechanical vibration, or direct sunlight.

●Keep the original packing materials for future transportation of the drive.

●Remove the disc before moving the drive.

●Clean the unit panel and controls with a soft, dry cloth, or a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild

detergent solution. Never spray cleaning fluids directly on the unit.

●Do not clean the drive with solvents such as alcohol or benzene, which can damage the finish.

●If any object or liquid falls into the cabinet, immediately unplug the workstation and have it checked

by an authorized service provider.

●When a disc is not in use, remove it from the drive and store it in its case.

●Handle the disc by the edges, not the flat surface of the disc.

●Do not clean the disc with solvents such as alcohol, benzene, or antistatic spray, which can damage

the finish.

●Use only discs that are circular in shape. Do not use discs shaped in other forms, such as heart-

shaped or business card-shaped discs.

Preparing the workstation

Prepare the workstation for installation of the optical drive as follows (refer to the documentation provided

with the workstation for detailed instructions on the following operations):

1. Remove any diskette inserted in the diskette drive.

2. Turn off the workstation and any other peripheral devices.

3. Disconnect the AC power cord and any peripheral devices.

ENWW Preparing for installation 5

WARNING! To avoid the risk of serious injury or damage to the workstation, ensure that the power

cord is unplugged from the electrical outlet.

4. Remove the access panel from the workstation, then remove the front bezel by using the green

tabs.

WARNING! Allow the internal system to cool before touching in order to reduce the risk of

personal injury from hot surfaces.

Installing the drive

Complete the following steps to install the drive:

NOTE: Your workstation may not be identical to the workstation shown in the following illustrations. If

you need more information, refer to the documentation included with the workstation for drive installation

procedures.

NOTE: There may be drive length limitations for some of the drive bays in certain workstations.

CAUTION: Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the workstation or optional

equipment. Before beginning these procedures, ensure that you are static-free by briefly touching

a grounded metal object. In addition, avoid touching any exposed metal on the option board/chip

or on the workstation's circuit boards. Refer to the “Regulatory notices” section later in this

document for additional information.

2. Remove the flat bezel blank from the front bezel of the appropriate drive bay. The bezel blank is

the small panel that covers the drive bay opening when a drive is not installed in that bay.

3. Remove the EMI filler (if one is installed). The EMI filter is a thin metal piece blocking the bay

opening in order to reduce electromagnetic emissions.

4. If your optical drive requires guide screws, use the four M3 guide screws provided as part of the

installation kit. Install two M3 guide screws into each side of the drive, as shown below, using a

Torx T-15 screwdriver.

NOTE: Some workstations, such as the xw6400, xw8400, and xw9400 do not require these guide

screws.

5. Slide the optical drive completely into a drive bay so that the drive is secured. On some workstation

models, you will need to lift the spring-loaded latch on the left side of the optical drive cage while

sliding the new drive in place.

ENWW Installing the drive 7

CAUTION: Failure to ensure that the optical drive has been properly secured may cause damage

to the drive when moving the workstation.
