Connecting an HP Personal Media Drive to the PC
The HP Media Center PC is designed to work with the HP Personal Media Drive that is purchased separately.
The HP Media Center PC has a special drive bay that includes an internal USB port and power cable that connects to the HP Personal Media Drive. The drive can be easily inserted and removed from the hard disk drive bay without turning off the PC. This feature is sometimes referred to as warm swappable.
The HP Personal Media Drive can also function as an external USB hard disk drive without installing the included software. However, HP recommends that you install the software and documentation to have access to additional features.
For information about using an HP Personal Media Drive to store and transfer information, refer to the HP Media Center PC Software Guide and the documentation that came with the HP Personal Media Drive.
