Identifying guide screws

When installing drives in the removable media bay, guide screws must be installed to make sure the drives

align correctly in the drive cage. HP has provided extra guide screws, 5.25 M3 metric screws and/or HD
6-32 shipping screws, located behind the media bay blank. The metric screws are black.
