Installing a New Hard Disk Drive

NOTE: The replacement hard disk drive may not look
exactly the same as the original drive due to different
manufacturers or models. Hewlett-Packard always provides
quality parts that meet or exceed your original computer
specifications.
1 Slide the new hard drive into the hard drive cage
making sure that the connectors on the hard drive are
on the same end of the cage as the handle.
2 Install the four screws that secure the drive to the cage.
NOTE: The four screws that secure the hard disk drive to
the hard-disk drive cage may have had rubber grommets.
These grommets can fall off when you remove the hard
drive from the hard-drive cage. Replacement grommets
might be included with the new hard drive. If so, place a
new grommet over each hole before fastening the screw.
