Xbox One S Hard Drive Assembly

Flip the Xbox One S so that the bottom of the case is facing upward.

Begin by working at the case on the rear where the warranty sticker is located. Insert the plastic opening tool into the gap between the bottom of the case and the grated top side. Then find the clips in between that hold the case in place. Use the opening tool to pop the clips out. The best method is to pry the black case away from the bottom.

Once all of the clips are opened, remove the bottom part of the case.

Use a T10 Torx screwdriver to remove the six green 50 mm long screws from the metal case labeled F1 through F6.

Gently separate the interior case from the white exterior case using the appropriate method.

Flip the interior case so it is fan side upward.

To access the hardware within the casing, you can pop and lift the top panel of the casing. It should come right off.

To replace the hard drive, flip over the console and remove the two 10 mm T-10 Torx screws, C3 and C5, from the backside of the Xbox One S.

Gently disconnect the hard drive from the motherboard (at the two plastic connector bodies).
