Locate extra guide screws
Each drive requires four guide screws to ensure the drive lines up correctly in the drive cage and locks
in place. HP provides extra guide screws for installing new drives.
●
The extra screws are mounted in the front of the chassis, under the front bezel.
●
There are four black M3 metric screws used to install most drives.
●
There are five silver 6-32 standard screws. Four are used for mounting 3.5–inch hard disk drives,
and the fifth is used for bezel security (see
Front bezel security on page 73).
●
If you are replacing the primary hard drive, you must remove the four silver and blue 6-32 isolation
mounting guide screws from the old hard drive and install them in the new hard drive.
