Hardware Upgrades

✎

When installing an expansion card, press firmly on the card so that

the whole connector seats properly in the expansion card slot.

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.

8. Connect external cables to the installed card, if needed. Connect

internal cables to the system board, if needed.

9. Replace the computer access panel and reconnect the power

cable.

✎

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.

Replacing or Upgrading a Drive

The computer supports up to five 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.
