To insert the HP Personal Media Drive into a specially
designed HP PC:

1 Line up the ridges on the bottom of the drive with

the two slots on the correct side of the PC 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 PC is turned on, and
the drive is inserted correctly, the power LED on the
front of the drive is lit.

CD. See “Installing Drivers and Software from the
Installation CD” on page 4.

adapter into the back of the HP Personal Media
Drive (H).
