The PC has a removable drive cage that holds the 7-In-1 memory card reader
and the diskette drive. You can remove and replace either of these drives if they
are included with your model.
To ensure that the drive fits properly into the PC, be sure to purchase the
replacement diskette drive from HP. Refer to the Warranty & Support Guide for
contact information.
To remove the 7-In-1 memory card reader drive or the diskette drive:
1 Remove the side panel that has thumbscrews. See page 99.
2 Gently lay the PC on its side.
3 Make a note of each cable attached to the drive you want to replace.
4 Push down on the drive cage release tab (E).
5 Hold the release tab down as you pull the cage toward the back of the chassis,
and then lift it out (F). Removing the drive cage provides more space to
remove the cables.
