Inserting the Drive

NOTE: The drive can be easily inserted and removed from the bay without turning off the PC. This feature is sometimes referred to as warm swappable.

For some PCs (select models only), the HP Personal Media Drive is designed to fit inside a horizontal or vertical drive bay.

This special drive bay includes an internal USB port and power cable that connect to the drive when it is inserted.

The drive turns on when it is plugged into an active USB port. If the PC is turned on with the drive connected, the drive automatically turns on. When the USB cable for the drive is not plugged in or when the USB power from the PC is turned off, the drive automatically turns off. When the PC is in standby mode (a reduced power state), the drive remains turned on.

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 cause data loss.

Inserting the Drive

1Turn on the PC.

2Line up the ridges on the bottom of the drive with the two slots on the side or the bottom of the PC drive bay. Do not force the drive into the bay; it should slide easily into the bay.
