The hard disk drive of your PC attaches to your
HP Personal Media Drive bay.
1 Follow the steps in “Removing a Hard Disk Drive”
on page 6.

HP Personal Media Drive bay bracket. Insert and
tighten the four screws.
3 Slide the drive bay into the PC until it snaps into
place.

5 Attach the data and power supply cables to the
back of the hard disk drive.
WARNING: For Parallel ATA drives,
connect the IDE cable end (C) labeled
Master to the primary hard disk drive. If
the IDE cable is not connected correctly,
the PC will not be able to locate the hard
disk drives and data may be lost.

special keying feature and can only be inserted in
the correct position. Squeeze the tabs on the
connector and insert the cable into the drive bay
(D). Make sure the connector is securely inserted
into the drive bay.
