HP 883n, m280n, m270n, m200y (D7219Q), 894c Replacing and Adding Drives, Removing the drive cage

Replacing and Adding Drives

You can replace the drives that are located in the removable drive cage: hard disk drive, 6-In-1 memory card reader (select models), and diskette (floppy) drive. On PCs with no 6-In-1 memory card reader, you can add a second hard drive by installing it into the drive cage.

Removing the drive cage

1 Remove the fan duct. (See page 48.)

2 Remove the cables from the back of the drives that are in the removable drive cage. Make note of each connection and the plug orientation before disconnecting the cables.

3 If you do not have a 6-In-1 memory card reader, skip to step 5. If you have a 6-In-1 memory card reader, continue with step 4.

4 Remove the two screws that secure the 6-In-1 memory card reader in the drive cage. From the front of the chassis, push the reader into the drive cage.

5 Push down on the drive cage release tab, and hold it down as you rotate the cage up and lift it out of the chassis. Cover the front of the cage as you lift it out so that the 6-In-1 memory card reader does not slide out.
