Adding or replacing an optical drive
Complete the steps for either the slim optical disc drive or the full-size drive.
Adding or replacing a slim optical disc drive
1 If necessary, remove the existing drive or filler. See “Removing an optical drive” on
page 23.
2 Insert each slim optical disc drive:
a Hold the drive assembly by the tab (B) at the bottom. The light bar (A) is at
the top.
b Insert the knobs (C) of the drive assembly into the slot (F1 or F2), and then rotate
the assembly away from you and into the slot. Push it toward the front of the
chassis until the assembly is completely seated. The light bar (A) should extend out
of the front of the chassis.
IMPORTANT: Be sure that the slim optical disc drive is in an adapter. Get your
replacement slim drive assembly (drive in the adapter) from HP.
IMPORTANT: You must insert the primary slim optical disc drive before inserting the
optional slim optical disc drive.
