Inserting the HP Personal Media
Drive into HP PCs with Integrated
Drive Bay
The HP Personal Media Drive is designed to work with
most PCs as an external drive that is connected using
a USB cable, but it also can be inserted into specially
designed HP PCs. These PCs have a special drive bay
that includes an internal USB port and power cable
that connects to the HP Personal Media Drive. The
HP Personal Media Drive can be easily inserted and
removed from the hard drive bay without turning off
the PC, sometimes referred to as warm swappable.
Some HP PCs have vertically oriented drive bays and
some have horizontally oriented drive bays; both
accommodate your HP Personal Media Drive.
WARNING: Do not move the PC with the
HP Personal Media Drive inserted in the
bay or connected to a USB port on the PC.
This can cause damage to the drive and
data loss.
Before moving the PC, it should be turned
off and the HP Personal Media Drive
should be removed or disconnected
safely.
