4.Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet and disconnect any external devices.

CAUTION: Regardless of the power-on state, voltage is always present on the system board as long as the system is plugged into an active AC outlet. You must disconnect the power cord to avoid damage to the internal components of the computer.

5.Remove the computer access panel.

6.Install four 6-32 isolation mounting guide screws, two on each side of the drive. Figure 2-26Installing the Hard Drive Guide Screws

NOTE: The hard drive uses 6-32 isolation mounting guide screws. Eight extra guide screws are installed on the hard drive bracket under the access panel. The HP-supplied isolation mounting guide screws are silver and blue. Refer to Installing Additional Drives on page 29 for an illustration of the extra 6-32 isolation mounting guide screws location.

If you are replacing a drive, transfer the guides screws from the old drive to the new one.
