Hard Disk Drive - HP Z800 - Workstation - 6 GB RAM Maintenance And Service Manual

Hard disk drive

This workstation accommodates both SAS and SATA hard drives.
Both 3.5 in. standard hard disk drives or 2.5 in. small form factor (SFF) hard disk drives may be installed
in the workstation.
NOTE: A 2.5 in. hard drive must be mounted in a 3.5 in. adapter before it can be installed in the chassis
blind-mate carrier.
Hard disk drives can be installed in the hard drive bay and the optical drive bay. Drives should be installed
in the hard drive bay first, then in the optical drive bay. Installation in the optical drive bay requires an
optional adapter kit.
The hard drives blind-mate (direct-connect) to chassis mounted connectors, so manual cable
connections may be avoided.
