HP Personal Media Drive

The HP Digital Entertainment Center front panel includes a drive bay that houses the HP Personal Media Drive. The drive bay has an internal USB port and power connector.

The HP Personal Media Drive can also function as an external USB hard disk drive. You must connect an external USB port and power cable.

You can easily insert and remove the drive from the bay without turning off the HP Digital Entertainment Center.

You can use the HP Personal Media Drive without installing the included software. However, HP recommends that you install the software and documentation to have access to additional features.

For more information about installing the software, refer to the documentation that came with the HP Personal Media Drive. For more information about using an HP Personal Media Drive to store and transfer information, refer to the Media Center Edition 2005 Software Guide.

Do not move the drive while it is operating, to avoid hardware damage and potential data loss. You can safely remove your drive only after you have completely run the Safely Remove Hardware wizard.

After you have safely disconnected and powered off the drive, handle the drive by the plastic endcaps to avoid touching the aluminum sides if they are hot.
