7. While holding the expansion card bracket against the chassis,
slide the slot cover lock down toward the expansion card bracket
to secure it in place and replace the screw that secures the slot
cover lock.

internal cables to the system board, if needed.
9. Replace the computer access panel and reconnect the power
cable.
When installing an expansion card, press firmly on the card so that
the whole connector seats properly in the expansion card slot.
To remove an expansion card, reverse the installation procedure.
CAUTION: After removing an expansion card, you must replace it with
a new card or expansion slot cover for proper cooling of internal
components during operation.
The computer supports up to four drives that may be installed in
various configurations.
This Section describes the procedure for replacing or upgrading the
storage drives. A Torx T-15 screwdriver is needed to remove and
install the guide screws and retainer screws on a drive.
CAUTION: Make sure you back up your personal files on the hard drive
to an external storage device, such as a CD, before removing the hard
drive. Failure to do so will result in data loss. After replacing the primary
hard drive, you will need to run the Restore Plus! CD to load the HP
factory-installed files.
