How to Remove a Hard Drive From an HP Vectra VL400
- 1). Power down the HP Vectra VL400 system. Once completely powered down, disconnect all the cables running into the back of the system and remove the Phillips screws around the back side of the computer system.
- 2). Slide off the computer case to expose the interior of the computer.
- 3). Look toward the front top of the computer. You can see the hard drive sitting on a shelf with two cables running into the back of the drive. Disconnect these cables from the hard drive. Look to where the cables connect to the motherboard (the large computer circuit board in the middle of the case). Remove the cables from the motherboard, because you'll need these cables if installing the drive in a new computer.
- 4). Remove the Phillips screws holding the drive in place. Once you have the screws off, you can slide the hard drive out of the computer case.
