Yes - or you can bend them out of the way.
It's documented in another old thread - probably!

Subject: [760E] Fujitsu 1.6GB disk not detected ? (was: IBM 2.1 disk in
760E)
I'm trying to install a Fujitsu 1.6GB disk (2724TAM) in my 760E, but the
machine won't recognize the disk at all (e.g. fdisk from a rescue floppy
says 'no drive found').
The disk works flawlessly in another laptop, and is formatted with a
bootable DOS partition.
FWIW, the BIOS is the most recent one for the 760E.
I attached the disk by unpacking the old drive's shell, and attaching
the disk to the connector.
In an old thread from Jan 2001, I read that sometimes you obviously have
to cut a few pins of the connector in order to get a hard disk working
with the drive shell. Is that true, and is this documented somewhere ?
