SMART ATA 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. If the drive determines that a failure is
imminent, it generates a fault alert.
Cable management
Always follow good cable management practices when working inside the computer.
●
Keep cables away from major heat sources like the heat sink.
●
Do not jam cables on top of memory modules. Printed circuit cards like these are not designed to take
excessive pressure on them.
●
Keep cables clear of sliding or moveable parts to prevent them from being cut or crimped when the
parts are moved.
●
When folding a flat ribbon cable, never fold to a sharp crease. Sharp creases may damage the wires.
●
Do not bend any cable sharply. A sharp bend can break the internal wires.
●
Never bend a SATA data cable tighter than a 30 mm (1.18 in) radius.
●
Never crease a SATA data cable.
●
Do not rely on components to push cables down into the chassis. Always position the cables to lay
properly by themselves.
