Install four M3 metric guide screws in the lower holes on each side of the drive. HP has provided
four extra M3 metric guide screws on the front of the chassis, under the front bezel. The M3 metric
guide screws are black. Refer to
Installing and Removing Drives on page 27
for an illustration of
the extra M3 metric guide screws location.
CAUTION:
Use only 5-mm long screws as guide screws. Longer screws can damage the internal
components of the drive.
NOTE:
When replacing the drive, transfer the four M3 metric guide screws from the old drive to
the new one.
