Bezel Blanks
On some models, there are bezel blanks covering the 3.5-inch and 5.25-inch external drive bays that
need to be removed before installing a drive. To remove a bezel blank:
1. Remove the front bezel (
Front Bezel on page 37).
2. To remove the lower 5.25-inch bezel blank, gently twist and pull on the bezel blank until it breaks
free from the front bezel (1), then discard the bezel blank. If the blank needs to be replaced at a
later date, you can order a replacement blank from HP.
3. To remove the 3.5-inch bezel blank, press the two retaining tabs towards the outer left edge of
the bezel (2) and pull the bezel blank inwards to free it from the front bezel (3).
