1. Prepare the computer for disassembly (Preparation for disassembly on page 22).
2. Remove the access panel (
Access panel on page 23).
3. Remove the front bezel (
Front bezel on page 24). If you are installing a drive in a bay covered by
a bezel blank, remove the bezel blank. See
Bezel blanks on page 27 for more information.
4. Install 6-32 guide screws in the holes on each side of the drive.
NOTE: HP has supplied four extra 6-32 guide screws on top of the drive cage. Refer to Drives
on page 36 for an illustration of the extra guide screws location.
When replacing a drive, transfer the four 6-32 guide screws from the old drive to the new one.
5. Rotate the drive cage to its upright position.
6. Slide the drive into the drive bay, making sure to align the guide screws with the guide slots, until
the drive snaps into place.
