HP has provided four extra 6-32 hard drive mounting screws installed on the front of the chassis behind
the bezel (1). The mounting screws are required for 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch hard drives installed in the
hard drive bays. If you are replacing a drive, remove the mounting screws from the old drive and install
them in the new drive.
NOTE: System board appearance may vary.
CAUTION: To prevent loss of work and damage to the computer or drive:
If you are inserting or removing a drive, shut down the operating system properly, turn o the computer, and
unplug the power cord. Do not remove a drive while the computer is on or in standby mode.
Before handling a drive, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity. While handling a drive, avoid
touching the connector. For more information about preventing electrostatic damage, refer to Electrostatic
discharge information on page 15.
Handle a drive carefully; do not drop it.
Do not use excessive force when inserting a drive.
Avoid exposing a hard drive to liquids, temperature extremes, or products that have magnetic elds such as
monitors or speakers.
If a drive must be mailed, place the drive in a bubble-pack mailer or other protective packaging and label the
package “Fragile: Handle With Care.”
