Slim optical drive bezel blank
On some models, there is a bezel blank covering the slim optical drive bay. Remove the bezel blank before
installing an optical drive. To remove the bezel blank:
1. Remove the access panel (Access panel on page 20).
2. Remove the front bezel (Front bezel on page 20).
3. To remove the slim optical drive bezel blank, press inward on the three retaining tabs that hold the bezel
blank in place (1), and then rotate the bezel blank o the front bezel (2).
NOTE: After removing the slim optical drive bezel blank and installing a slim optical drive, you can install an
optional bezel trim piece (available from HP) that surrounds the front of the slim optical drive.
