HP 924979-001 optical drive bracket is a replacement mounting part for the optical drive in supported HP notebook configurations. HP service guides identify this exact spare part number as the optical drive bracket, helping distinguish it from the separate drive bezel, connector board, and hard drive bracket.
The bracket fits at the rear of the optical drive and is secured to the drive with a Phillips PM2.0×2.5 screw. During service, the optical drive slides out of its bay, after which the bracket can be detached or fitted again. This makes the part useful when servicing or replacing the bracket associated with the optical drive.
HP lists the part in service documentation for the HP 255 G6 and HP 15, 15g, and 15q laptop PC families. The guides identify the component and service method; they do not specify the bracket’s dimensions or package contents.
