Installing a Diskette Drive into the 3.5-inch External Drive Bay

If the computer was not configured with a 3.5-inch drive, you can install a media card reader, diskette drive, or secondary hard drive into the drive bay.

The diskette drive is located underneath the optical drive. To install a diskette drive (or any other 3.5- inch drive) into the 3.5-inch external bay:

1.Follow the procedure described in the Removing an Optical Drive section to remove the optical drive and access the 3.5-inch drive bay.

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.

2.If necessary, remove the bezel blank covering the 3.5-inch drive bay.

3.Install two 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.

CAUTION Use only 5-mm long screws as guide screws. Longer screws can damage the internal components of the drive.

NOTE When replacing the drive, transfer the four M3 metric guide screws from the old drive to the new one.
