Introduction

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 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! 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, , the product must

always be lifted by two persons to avoid personal injury due to product weight.

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.

Step 1—Preparing for component installation

NOTE: Computer models vary. All illustrations are examples only.

Accessing the internal components of the computer

1. If you need help preparing the computer for this installation, consult the removal and replacement

procedures in the service guide for your computer at

http://www.hp.com/support/manuals.

2. Power down the computer, and then disconnect the power cord.

3. Power down all external devices, and then disconnect them from the computer.

4. Remove the side access panel.

Step 2—Installing the DX115 case into the optical drive bay

See the steps for the applicable computer 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. Install the CRU Dataport DX115 in the optical bay which best fits your computer configuration.

CAUTION: HP computer SAS disk drives are configured with a SAS-to-SATA adapter or cable. To

ensure proper connection, remove the adapter or cable before continuing with installation, as shown in the following figure.

Figure 1 Removing the SAS to SATA adapter or cable

Step 1—Preparing for component installation

HP Z200 SFF and HP Z210 SFF computers

To install a DX115 case in an HP Z200 SFF or HP Z210 SFF computer:

1. Remove the front bezel:

a. If necessary, remove the bezel security screw, located beside the middle bezel release tab.

Figure 2 Removing the bezel security screw

b. Lift the release tabs (1), and then rotate the front bezel off the chassis (2).

Figure 3 Removing the front bezel

4 CRU Dataport DX115 kit installation ENWW

2. If necessary, remove the optical disk drive blank from the bezel:

a. On the inside of the bezel, push the two retaining tabs toward the outer edge of the bezel (1)

b. Slide the bezel blank back away from the bezel and to the left to remove it (2).

Figure 4 Removing the bezel blank

3. If an existing optical disk drive is present, remove it:

a. Rotate the drive cage to its upright position.

Step 2—Installing the DX115 case into the optical drive bay

b. Disconnect the power cable (1) and data cable (2) from the rear of the optical drive.

Figure 6 Removing the cables

c. Rotate the drive cage back down to its normal position.

CAUTION: Check clearances on the cables when you rotate the drive cage. The cage may

pinch the cables and damage them if they are not routed correctly.

d. Press down on the green drive retainer button located on the left side of the drive to

disengage the drive from the drive cage. While pressing the drive retainer button, slide the drive back until it stops, then lift it up and out of the drive cage.

Step 2—Installing the DX115 case into the optical drive bay

7. Rotate the drive cage to its upright position.

Figure 11 Rotating the drive cage up

8. If the cables are not already routed and attached to the system board:

a. Connect the SATA data cable to the system board connector labeled SATA1.

b. Route the data cable through the cable guides to keep the data cable from being pinched by

the drive cage when raising or lowering it. One guide is located on the bottom side of the drive cage. The other is part of the chassis frame under the drive cage. Route the data cable through these guides before connecting it to the optical drive.
