Step 3–Configuring a second SFF hard drive carrier for the
HP xw8600 Workstation
A second SFF hard drive carrier and up to three additional SFF hard drives can be configured and
installed in the third and fourth 3.5-inch hard drive bays of the HP xw8600 Workstation.
NOTE: To later install one or more additional SFF hard drives in the carrier (for example, hard drive
assignments number 5 and 6), the carrier must be removed from the workstation, the mounting rail and
initially installed hard drive removed from the carrier, and all hard drives then installed or reinstalled in
the carrier in proper order by following these steps.
To install a second SFF hard drive carrier in an HP xw8600 Workstation, complete the following steps:
1. Orient the second SFF hard drive carrier as shown in the following figure and note the drive number
assignment when hard drives are loaded into the carrier. When installed and with the workstation
tower standing upright for typical operation, SFF hard drive number 4 will be near the middle of all
installed SFF hard drive bays and hard drive number 6 will be at the top of the bays.
