To use your HP Pocket Media Drive, simply connect the
drive to your computer using the provided USB cable,
or by inserting the drive into an HP computer with the
appropriate drive bay (optional).
Inserting the HP Pocket Media
Drive into an HP computer with an
integrated drive bay
Your drive is designed to work with most computers as
an external drive that is connected using a USB cable,
but it also can be inserted into specially designed
HP computers. These computers have a special drive
bay that connects to the drive using an internal USB
connector. The drive can be easily inserted and
removed from the hard drive bay without turning off the
computer, this is sometimes referred to as warm
swappable.
Some HP computers have vertically oriented drive bays,
and some have horizontally oriented drive bays; both
accommodate your HP Pocket Media Drive.
WARNING:
Do not move the
computer with the drive inserted in the
bay or connected to a USB port on the
computer. This can cause damage to
the drive and cause data loss.
Before moving the computer, turn off
the computer and remove or
disconnect the drive safely.
