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

for an
illustration of the extra M3 metric guide screws location.
NOTE:
When replacing the drive, transfer the four M3 metric guide screws from the old drive to
the new one.
