HP Media Center PC Getting Started Guide
To connect an HP Personal Media Drive to the PC
The HP Personal Media Drive has an automatic on
and off feature. 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.
1
Turn on the PC.
2
Install the HP Personal Media Drive software
that is included with the Drive (optional). For
instructions about installing and using the
HP Personal Media Drive software, refer to
the documentation that came with your
HP Personal Media Drive.
3
Line up the ridges on the bottom of the drive
with the two slots on the side of the PC drive
bay. Do not force the drive into the bay; it
should slide easily into the bay.
4
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, the blue power LED on the
front of the drive is lit when the drive is
inserted correctly.
