Getting Started (features vary by model)
The HP Media Drive is designed to work with most computers as an external drive that is
connected by using a USB cable, but it also can be inserted into specifically designed
HP computers. These computers have a special horizontal or vertical drive bay that
connects to the drive by using an internal USB connector. The drive can be easily inserted
and removed from the hard disk drive bay without turning off the computer. This is
sometimes referred to as warm-swappable.
The drive turns on when it is plugged into an active USB port. If the computer 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 computer is turned off, the drive
automatically turns off. When the computer is in sleep mode (a reduced-power state), the
drive remains turned on.
WARNING: Do not move the computer with the HP Media Drive inserted in the
bay or connected to a USB port on the computer. This can cause both damage
to the drive and data loss.
