HP has provided four extra 6-32 hard drive mounting screws installed on the front of the chassis behind the
bezel (1). The mounting screws are required for 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch hard drives installed in the hard drive

CAUTION:
To prevent loss of work and damage to the computer or drive:
If you are inserting or removing a drive, shut down the operating system properly, turn off the computer, and
unplug the power cord. Do not remove a drive while the computer is on or in standby mode.
Before handling a drive, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity. While handling a drive, avoid
touching the connector.
Handle a drive carefully; do not drop it.
Do not use excessive force when inserting a drive.
Avoid exposing a hard drive to liquids, temperature extremes, or products that have magnetic fields such as
