Installing a Hard Drive into a 3.5-inch Drive Bay
✎
Compaq does not support mixing IDE and SCSI hard drives in the
same system. If you are replacing a hard drive in bay 4 or bay 5, it
should be of the same type.
To install a hard drive in a 3.5-inch drive bay:
1. If you have locked the Smart Cover Lock, use Computer Setup to
unlock the lock.
2. Shut down the operating system properly, then turn off the
computer and any external drives, disconnect the power cord
from the power outlet, and remove the computer access panel.
3. Remove the front bezel.
