5. Install four M3 metric guide screws in the lower holes on each side of the drive. Either re-use the
screws used by your previous optical drive or use the extra HP—provided guide screws mounted
on the front of the chassis. (See
Locate extra guide screws on page 79.)
CAUTION: Use only 5-mm long screws as guide screws. Longer screws can damage the internal
components of the drive.
