After removing the hard drive from the computer, you must remove the hard drive

bracket to access the hard drive itself.

Spread the soft-molded hard drive bracket (1) and remove the hard drive (2).

Disconnect the hard drive cable adapter (3) from the hard drive.

To install a hard drive, reverse this procedure.

Using HP 3D DriveGuard

HP 3D DriveGuard protects a hard drive by parking the drive and halting data requests under either of
the following conditions:

●

You drop the computer.

●

You move the computer with the display closed while the computer is running on battery power.

A short time after the end of one of these events, HP 3D DriveGuard returns the hard drive to normal
operation.

NOTE:

Because solid-state drives (SSD) lack moving parts, HP 3D DriveGuard is unnecessary.

NOTE:

Hard drives in the primary hard drive bay are protected by HP 3D DriveGuard. Hard drives

connected to USB ports are not covered by HP 3D DriveGuard.
