Hard drive handling precautions—Hard drives are sensitive
electromechanical devices that can be permanently damaged through
improper handling. The packaging provided with a hard drive is
designed to protect it from accidental drops. HP recommends that hard
drives remain in their original packaging until installation. Drives
should be handled with care and never dropped, even from short
distances.
5.
Configuration—If this is an upgrade or new installation on a ProLiant-
based system, run the HP System Configuration Utility found on the HP
SmartStart CD.
CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Be sure you
are properly grounded before beginning this procedure. Refer to the documentation
that came with your computer or contact your HP authorized reseller for procedures
to discharge static electricity.

Drive Height Converter Option
To install a 1-inch hard drive into a 1.6-inch drive bay, attach a driveheight
converter to the drive assembly. The drive height converter option is sold
separately. Contact an HP authorized reseller for purchasing information.
Installation Instructions
Snap the drive height converter accessory into place, as shown in the
following figure. Proceed with the normal installation procedures.
To confirm a correct attachment, the front view of the drive should be level
on both the right and left sides and the fit should be snug.
CAUTION: Do not carry the drive by the drive height converter. If the attachment is
not secure, the drive may fall, resulting in damage to the drive. This will void any
drive warranty.
