How to install and remove internal hard drive from your HP Media Vault

The HP Media Vault’s primary system hard disk uses the Serial ATA (SATA) interface. The internal expansion bay will accommodate a second SATA disk. (The media vault does not support adding Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE) disks.)

You cannot remove or add a hard disk to the media vault while it is powered on and running.

To add a SATA disk into the expansion slot:

1.Power down the media vault by pressing the power button on the front of the media vault and wait until it completely shuts down.

2.Open the front left door of the media vault.

3.Turn the security knob on the hard drive tray counter-clockwise.

4.Lift the drive tray handle out and gently pull the hard drive tray out of the expansion bay.
