Appendix B SATA Devices

SATA Guidelines

NOTE These systems support a mixed configuration of UATA/IDE, SCSI, and SATA hard drives. While
HP supports the presence of IDE drives, it does not ship any configurations using those drives.
NOTE The HP Workstation xw8200 has two SATA ports on the system board, but five internal hard drive
mounting points. Connect the first SATA drive (boot drive if booting from SATA) to the top port (upper port
when system board is facing up). If installing a second drive, connect it to the bottom port. Installing more
than two drives requires a SATA controller card in one of the PCI slots.
When installing and operating SATA devices:
Connect the SATA hard drive from the system board to the hard drive with the SATA cable (326965-002).
If using a SATA controller card, connect the 4-4 pin LED cable (included with SATA controller board) from the
card header "JP1" (4-pin header) to the system board header labeled "SCSI LED" (4-pin header).
