Getting Started with Your

To use your HP Personal Media Drive, simply connect
the power cable and USB cable.
Inserting the HP Personal Media
Drive into HP Computers with
Integrated Drive Bay
The HP Personal Media Drive is designed to work with
most computers as an external drive that is connected
using a USB cable, but it also can be inserted into
specially designed HP computers. These computers
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 computer, sometimes referred to
as warm swappable.
Some HP computers have vertically oriented drive
bays and some have horizontally oriented drive bays;
both accommodate your HP Personal Media Drive.
WARNING: Do not move the computer
with the HP Personal Media Drive inserted
in the bay or connected to a USB port on
the computer. This can cause damage to
the drive and data loss.
Before moving the computer, it should be
turned off and the HP Personal Media
Drive should be removed or disconnected
safely.
To insert the HP Personal Media Drive into a specially
designed HP computer:
1 Line up the ridges on the bottom of the drive with
the two slots on the correct side of the computer
drive bay. Do not force the drive into the bay; it
should slide easily into the bay.
2 Slide the drive all the way into the drive bay until
the drive is firmly connected to the internal power
and USB cables. When the computer is turned on,
and the drive is inserted correctly, the power LED on
the front of the drive is lit.
