Installing A New Drive - Compaq Deskpro 2000 Maintenance & Service Manual

6.19.3 Installing a New Drive

When installing a new drive, you should use either the wafer screws provided in the option kit or the
extra U.S. or metric screws, both of which are stored in the front of the computer chassis for this
purpose. The same screws that are used as guide screws are used as retainer screws to secure the
drive in the drive bay. Select the appropriate screws for the application.
Metric screws have a black finish while U.S. screws have a silver finish.
