Removal and Replacement Procedures— Slim Tower (ST) Chassis

✎When replacing the hard drive, transfer the four screws from the old drive to the new one. The screws take the place of drive rails. You will need a Torx T-15 screwdriver to remove and re-install the guide screws. HP has provided four extra 6-32 standard guide screws on the front of the chassis, under the computer cover. The 6-32 standard guide screws are silver and are used only for the hard drive.

✎If you replaced the primary hard drive, insert the Restore Plus! CD to restore the operating system, software drivers, and any software applications that were preinstalled on the computer. Follow the instructions in the guide included with the Restore Plus! CD. When the restore process has completed, reinstall any personal files that you backed up before replacing the hard drive.
