Unless the front panel of HP is like Dell where the thing that looks like regular usb media reader cable is proprietary to the motherboard connectors.
Even dell fans are wired differently and need adapters.
Plugging Dell media reader into standard motherboard means clipping wires and soldering to standard usb.
Not sure how CD drive would have proprietary though unless that plugged into something indirect of sata connection
