Connecting an HP Personal Media Drive to the PC

The HP Media Center PC is designed to work with
the HP Personal Media Drive that is purchased
separately.
The HP Media Center PC has a special drive bay
that includes an internal USB port and power cable
that connects to the HP Personal Media Drive. The
drive can be easily inserted and removed from the
hard disk drive bay without turning off the PC. This
feature is sometimes referred to as warm
swappable.
The HP Personal Media Drive can also function as
an external USB hard disk drive without installing
the included software. However, HP recommends
that you install the software and documentation to
have access to additional features.
