To Replace The Hard Drive Holder - HP Compaq NX9000 Reference Manual

To replace the hard drive holder

If you are installing a new hard drive that does not have a holder, you can remove the
holder parts from the old hard drive. You will need a small Phillips screwdriver for
this procedure.
1. Remove the four screws from the sides of the holder and drive case, then slide
the drive out of the holder.
2. Notice that the hard drive has a pin connector attachment at one end. Carefully
remove this connector from the end of the drive. Work alternately at each end so
that the connector slides off evenly without bending the connector pins.
3. Carefully put the pin connector attachment back onto the pins on the end of the
new hard drive. Work alternately at each end so that the connector slides on
evenly without bending the connector pins.
4. Insert the drive into the holder.
5. Reinstall the screws into the holder and drive case.
