Installing a Drive into the 3.5-inch External Drive Bay

The 3.5-inch bay is located underneath the 5.25-inch drive. To install a drive into the 3.5-inch bay:
NOTE:
Install guide screws to ensure the drive will line up correctly in the drive cage and lock in
place. HP has provided extra guide screws for the external drive bays (four 6-32 standard screws and
four M3 metric screws), installed in the front of the chassis, under the front bezel. A secondary hard
drive uses 6-32 standard screws. All other drives (except the primary hard drive) use M3 metric screws.
The HP-supplied M3 metric screws are black and the HP-supplied 6-32 standard screws are silver. Refer
