8.Install four 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. Refer to Installing and Removing Drives on page 60 for an illustration of the extra M3 metric guide screws location.

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