Replacing a hard disc drive

The hard disc drive is located behind the access panel on the lower left side of the computer (when
viewed from behind). The drive is housed in a removable cage.
One or two 2.5-inch solid state drives (SSDs) or self-encrypting drives (SEDs) may be installed in the
computer. If a single drive is installed, it must be installed in the primary (lower) position.

Removing a 2.5-inch hard disc drive
1. Remove all removable media, such as compact discs or USB flash drives, from the computer.
2. Turn off the computer properly through the operating system, then turn off any external devices.
3. Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet and disconnect any external devices.
CAUTION:
as long as the system is plugged into an active AC outlet. You must disconnect the power cord
to avoid damage to the internal components of the computer.
4. Remove/disengage any security devices that prohibit opening the computer.
5. Place the computer face down on a soft flat surface. HP recommends that you set down a
blanket, towel, or other soft cloth to protect the bezel and screen surface from scratches or other
damage.
6. Slide the access panel latches toward the edges of the chassis, then slide the access panel
toward the top of the computer until it slides off the chassis.
