6. Install guide screws on the sides of the drive. If you are installing a 2.5-inch drive, you must
install the drive in an adapter bracket.
NOTE: The hard drive uses 6-32 isolation mounting guide screws. Four extra guide screws are
installed on the exterior of the hard drive bays. The HP-supplied isolation mounting guide screws
are silver and blue. Refer to
Installing and Removing Drives on page 71 for an illustration of the
extra 6-32 isolation mounting guide screws location.
If you are replacing a drive, transfer the guides screws from the old drive to the new one.

If you are installing a 3.5-inch hard drive, install four isolation mounting guide screws (two
on each side of the drive).
