Upgrading the Minitower Computer
Compaq strongly recommends that only an authorized service
provider replace your primary hard drive.
Follow these steps to install an additional hard drive into the
drive bays:
Installing a third-party hard drive requires the installation of the
special Compaq flanged screws stored in the front of the
computer.
1. Turn off the computer and remove the computer cover as
described in the section "Removing the Computer Cover."
2. Locate the extra U.S. and metric screws stored in the front
of the computer frame for this purpose. Select the
appropriate screws for the application.
Locating the Screws Stored in the Computer
Metric screws have a black finish while U.S. screws have a
silver finish.
