Preparing for Installation

Although HP computers are designed for easy access to the upgradeable areas, it is strongly recommended that only an HP authorized dealer, reseller, or service provider install accessories. HP authorized dealers, resellers, and service providers are company trained in the installation of accessories and can ensure that the accessory is installed and functioning properly.

If you decide to install the hard drive accessory yourself, you will need a Torx T-15 screwdriver.
