SATA Hard Drive Cables SATA Data Cable Always use an HP approved SATA 3.0 Gb/s cable as it is fully backwards compatible with the SATA 1.5 Gb/s drives. Current HP desktop products ship with SATA 3.0 Gb/s hard drives. SATA data cables are susceptible to damage if overflexed. Never crease a SATA data cable and never bend it tighter than a 30 mm (1.18 in) radius.
ATA SMART Drives The Self Monitoring Analysis and Recording Technology (SMART) ATA drives for the HP Personal Computers have built-in drive failure prediction that warns the user or network administrator of an impending failure or crash of the hard drive. The SMART drive tracks fault prediction and failure indication parameters such as reallocated sector count, spin retry count, and calibration retry count.

Restoring and recovering To protect from loss or damage, back up your personal data files. Refer to the operating system or backup utility documentation for instructions on making backup copies of your data files. To protect the software from loss or damage, keep a backup copy of all system software, applications, and related files stored on the hard drive.
System Recovery WARNING! This procedure will delete all user information. To prevent loss of information, be sure to back up all user information so you can restore it after recovery. System Recovery completely erases and reformats the hard disk drive, deleting all data files that you have created, and then reinstalls the operating system, programs, and drivers.
When the computer restarts, you will see the Recovery Manager welcome screen again. Under I need help immediately, click System Recovery. If you are prompted to back up your files, and you have not done so, select Back up your files first (recommended), and then click Next. Otherwise, select Recover without backing up your files, and then click Next.
● If you are creating recovery discs, be sure to use high-quality discs. It is normal for the system to reject defective discs. You will be prompted to insert a new blank disc to try again. ● The number of discs in the recovery-disc set depends on your computer model (typically 3 to 6 DVDs).
Page 126
To perform a System Recovery using recovery media: If using a set of DVDs, insert the first recovery disc into the DVD drive tray, and close the tray. If you are using a recovery USB flash drive, insert it into a USB port. If the computer is not responding, press and hold the power button for approximately 5 seconds or until the computer turns off.
