							Installing a hard disk drive in the optical drive bay
TIP:For optimum performance, install the hard disk drive in the bottom bay; do not install it in the top
bay.
1.Disconnect power from the workstation (see Predisassembly procedures on page 73).
2.Remove the side access panel (see 
Removing the side access panel on page 75).
3.Remove the airflow guide (see 
Removing the airflow guide on page 76).
4.Remove the expansion card support (see 
Removing the expansion card support on page 77).
5.Carefully separate the carrier rails and set the drive between them, aligning the pins with the drive
mounting holes.
Release the rails to secure the rails on the drive as shown in the following figure.
Figure 5-63  Installing the carrier rails
6.Slide the drive into the carrier until it snaps into place as shown in the following figure.

							7.Insert the hard drive carrier into the optical disk drive bay cage until it reaches the release latch.
Pull the latch 
 and slide the drive carrier into the chassis, past the latch.
Release the latch and then slide the assembly further into the chassis until it snaps into place 
2
as shown in the following figure.
Figure 5-65  Installing the drive carrier in the ODD bay
8.Connect the power  and data 2 cables to the drive as shown in the following figure.
If the hard disk drive is SAS, attach a SATA-SAS adapter to the drive before connecting the data
cable.
Figure 5-66  Connecting the power and data cables to the drive
9.Ensure that the other end of the data cable is connected to the proper HDD data connector on the
system board.
10.Reinstall all removed components and reconnect any cables that have been disconnected.

							Installing dual SFF hard drives in the optical drive bay
This section describes how to install two small form factor (SFF) hard drives in the workstation optical
drive bay, and how to connect the hard drive cables.
Installing the hard drives
1.Disconnect power from the workstation (see 
Predisassembly procedures on page 73).
2.Remove the side access panel (see 
Removing the side access panel on page 75).
3.Remove the airflow guide (see 
Removing the airflow guide on page 76).
4.Remove the expansion card support (see 
Removing the expansion card support on page 77).
5.Remove the green rails from the bracket by squeezing the tabs and sliding the rails out of the
bracket.
6.Orient the drive with the connectors on the rear of the drive facing toward the tabs on the bracket
rails.
7.Gently open the rails 
 as shown in the following figure.
Figure 5-67  Installing the drive in the rails
8.Lower the drive into the rails 2 as shown above. Align the four pins on the rails with the holes in
the hard drive, and then snap the rails into place.
9.Carefully squeeze the green tabs 
 while sliding the drive with rails into the drive bracket as shown
in the following figure 
2.

ENWW Removing and installing components 123 
						

							10.Lift and hold the drive release latch at the green touch point  while sliding the bracket into the
optical bay as shown in the following figure 
2. When the front of the bracket is near its final position,
release the latch, but continue to slide the bracket inward until the latch closes and engages the
bracket.
Figure 5-69  Installing the bracket in the optical bay
Repeat the steps above to install a second drive.

							Configuring the cabling
If the internal bays are not filled to capacity, the pre-installed blind-mate data cables for the unused
internal hard drive bays may have to be unplugged from the system board to enable the proper
connection of the hard drives installed in this bracket. After all internal and optical bay hard drives are
connected, the blind mate cabling may be reconnected to the next available ports on the system board.
NOTE:If no additional SATA ports are available, move all optical devices to the SAS data ports. To
locate connectors on the system board, see the service label on the side access panel.
To connect the hard drive cables:
1.Use the following figure to connect the supplied Y-adapter power cable to the power connectors
on the SFF hard drives 
.
Figure 5-70  Connecting the power
2.Use the previous figure to locate the optical device power supply cable and connect it to the Y-
adapter power cable 
2.
3.Select the SATA interconnect data cable from those supplied with the hard drive kit that best fits
the hardware configuration of the workstation.

							4.Connect one end of the data cable to the hard drive as shown in the following figure.
Figure 5-71  Connecting the data cables to the hard drives
5.Connect the opposite end of the data cable to the system board. Start with the lowest numbered
port connector available on the system board.
NOTE:Repeat steps 2–4 for the second hard drive.
Expansion card guide/front fan holder
This section describes how to remove and install the expansion card guide/front fan holder.
Removing the expansion card guide/front fan holder
1.Disconnect power from the workstation (see Predisassembly procedures on page 73).
2.Remove the side access panel (see 
Removing the side access panel on page 75).
3.Remove the expansion card support (see 
Removing the expansion card support on page 77).
4.Remove the airflow guide (see 
Removing the airflow guide on page 76).
5.Remove expansion cards that are located in the card guide.

							6.Remove the graphics auxiliary power cable from the cable retention hook near the bottom of the
expansion card guide/front fan holder as shown in the following figure.
If present, remove the graphics power cables from the card guide storage receptacles.
Figure 5-72  Removing the graphics cable
7.Disconnect the front system fan power cable from the system board as shown in the following
figure.
