Removing the Hard Drive
The hard drive has been designed to be easily removed. In the event of hard drive failure,
Compaq Support may decide to send you a new hard drive so that you can replace the hard drive
yourself.
Ä
CAUTION: Always place the drive on a soft surface. Protect the hard drive from static electricity by
leaving it in its anti-static bag until you are ready to reinstall it.
Before handling the drive, touch any unpainted metal surface to discharge static electricity. When you
remove the hard disk drive from its antistatic bag, handle it only by the frame. DO NOT TOUCH the
electrical components. Place the drive on the anti-static bag whenever you set it down.
Hard drives are delicate and sensitive to shock vibration. When removing or installing a hard drive, be
careful not to drop or knock the drive. Any shock may damage the drive and prevent it from functioning
correctly.
1. Remove the chassis as described under “Removing the Chassis” section.
2. Unclip and swing the drive retaining clip upwards and to the side.
3. Disconnect the cables from the back of the hard drive.
4. Remove the hard drive.
