Removing a 2.5-inch solid state drive (SSD), self-encrypting drive (SED), or solid state hybrid drive
(SSHD)
1. Remove all removable media, such as optical discs or USB flash drives, from the computer.
2. Turn off the computer properly through the operating system, then turn off any external devices.
3. Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet and disconnect any external devices.
CAUTION: Regardless of the power-on state, voltage is always present on the system board
as long as the system is plugged into an active AC outlet. You must disconnect the power cord
to avoid damage to the internal components of the computer.
4. Remove/disengage any security devices that prohibit opening the computer.
5. Place the computer face down on a soft flat surface. HP recommends that you set down a
blanket, towel, or other soft cloth to protect the bezel and screen surface from scratches or other
damage.
6. Turn the two screw latches at the bottom of the computer to the left (1) to release the bottom
edge of the access panel.
7. Rotate the bottom edge of the access panel up (2), and then lift the access panel off of the
computer (3).
