7. If you are installing an optical drive, install four M3 metric mounting screws (not provided) in the lower
holes on each side of the drive.
NOTE: M3 metric mounting screws can be purchased from HP.
If you are replacing a drive, transfer the mounting screws from the old drive to the new drive.
IMPORTANT: Use only 5 mm long screws as mounting screws. Longer screws can damage the internal
components of the drive.
8. If you are installing a 5.25-inch drive in a vacant drive bay, you may need to remove the metal shield
covering the front of the bay. Insert a at-bladed screwdriver into the slots on the front of the shield (1)
and rock the shield back and forth (2) to break it free from the chassis.
