How to install HP DVD-Writer - External - Jack Black

Follow these simple steps to install and begin using your external DVD writer:

• Power off your HP Desktop Mini PC and unplug any connected cables to ensure a safe installation.
• Identify a suitable mounting location with an available mounting surface or slot. If you’re using the integrated VESA mount, prepare the monitor stand or back of your PC area to accommodate the bracket.
• Slide the HP DVD-Writer module into the designated space or onto the mounting bracket. Align it with the mounting holes so the module sits securely and doesn’t obstruct other components.
• Secure the module with the included screws. Tighten them just enough to hold the unit firmly without overtightening, which could damage the chassis or mounting surface.
• Connect the USB 2.0 cable from the module to an available USB port on your computer. Ensure a secure, fully inserted connection on both ends.
• If you used the VESA mount, finish by attaching the module to the chosen mounting surface following the instructions provided with the mounting hardware. This keeps the drive accessible yet out of the way for a cleaner workspace.
• Power on your system and verify recognition by the operating system. If prompted, allow any on-screen prompts to install generic drivers or simply use a disc-writing software utility to test reading and writing capabilities.
• Insert a disc to confirm functionality—read or write tests can help verify drive performance. If needed, install or update your preferred disc-burning software to optimize media creation and disc copying tasks.
