Installing a secondary 3.5-inch hard drive 1. Remove/disengage any security devices that prohibit opening the computer. 2. Remove all removable media, such as compact discs or USB flash drives, from the computer. 3. Turn off the computer properly through the operating system, then turn off any external devices. 4. Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet and disconnect any external devices. CAUTION: Regardless of the power-on state, voltage is always present on the system board as long as the system is plugged into an active AC outlet. You must disconnect the power cord to avoid damage to the internal components of the computer. 5. If the computer is on a stand, remove the computer from the stand. 6. Remove the computer access panel. 7. Install four silver 6-32 mounting screws on the sides of the drive (two on each side). NOTE: HP has supplied four extra silver 6-32 mounting screws installed on the chassis next to the primary 3.5-inch hard drive bay. Refer to Installing and removing drives on page 21 for an illustration of the location of the extra mounting screws. When replacing a drive, transfer the four mounting screws from the old drive to the new drive. 30 Chapter 2 Hardware upgrades
