Removing and replacing the diskette drive
or the 6-In-1 memory card reader
To ensure that the drive fits properly into the chassis,
be sure to purchase the replacement drive from HP.

1

Remove the drive cage. (See page 52.)

2

Remove the two screws that secure the diskette drive
in the drive cage: one screw on each side of the
drive cage. (The screws for the 6-In-1 memory card
reader were removed when the drive cage was
removed.)

3

Pull the drive out of the drive cage. Slide the
replacement drive into the drive cage.

4

For the diskette drive, attach the screws: one on
each side of the drive cage. (The screws for the
6-In-1 memory card reader are replaced when the
drive cage is replaced.)

5

Replace the drive cage. (See page 53.)

Removing and replacing the
preinstalled hard drive
You must remove the hard drive from the chassis if you
want to replace it with a higher capacity drive or if you
want to safeguard your data when sending the computer
out to be repaired.

1

Remove the drive cage. (See page 52.)

2

Remove the three screws that secure the hard drive
in the drive cage: two screws on the latch side of the
drive cage and one screw on the opposite side.

3

Pull the hard drive out, and store the drive and screws
in a safe location.

4

To replace the hard drive, reverse these steps. Make
sure the jumper on the new hard drive is in the CS
(Cable Select) position. (See figure on page 51).
