See the section, “Emergency ejection of a CD,” in this chapter.

Operation 1-3

Operating the CD-ROM drive

Once the system is powered on, normal CD-ROM drive operation consists of loading and unloading CDs. It is also important to be aware of the meanings of the Drive Status LED.

Power On



The CD-ROM drive is powered on when the host system is powered on.



Wait 15 seconds for the drive to complete its self-test. The Drive Status LED stays on during the self-test.



Check the Drive Status LED to verify the drive passed the self-test. If the Drive Status LED turns off, the drive passed.



When the self-test is over, CD-ROM drive operations can begin.

Drive Status LED

The CD-ROM drive’s Drive Status LED indicates when the drive is busy , not busy or has a problem.

1-4 A3715A CD-ROM Drive User’s Guide

Loading CDs (horizontal mount)

1. Press the Eject button. The CD tray will slide out of the drive.

2. Hold the CD by the center (with your index or middle finger) and the edge (with your thumb).

3. Place the CD in the CD tray. The printing on the CD should face up.

4. Gently push the CD tray back into the CD-ROM drive. After a gentle push, the tray will enter the CD-ROM drive by itself.

O p

o n

The Drive Status LED will light while the drive reads the CD. The LED will then turn off. The CD is now ready for use.

Note Always keep the CD tray closed except when inserting or ejecting a CD. This

prevents dust from entering the CD-ROM drive.

Operation 1-5

Loading CDs (vertical mount)

1. Press the Eject button. The CD tray will slide out of the drive.

2. Snap the bottom retaining tabs of the CD tray (A and B) in toward the center of the CD tray. The bottom retaining tabs prevent the CD from slipping out.

3. Hold the CD by the center (with your index or middle finger) and the edge (with your thumb).

4. Place the CD in the CD tray so it is held by the bottom retaining tabs. The printing on the CD should face to the right.

5. Gently push the CD tray back into the CD-ROM drive. After a gentle push, the tray will enter the CD-ROM drive by itself.

The Drive Status LED will light while the drive reads the CD. The LED will then turn off. The CD is now ready for use.

Note Always keep the CD tray closed except when inserting or eje cting a CD. This

prevents dust from entering the CD-ROM drive.

1-6 A3715A CD-ROM Drive User’s Guide

Unloading CDs

1. Wait for CD-ROM drive activity to stop.

2. Press the Eject button. The CD-ROM drive CD tray wil l slide out.

3. Remove the CD from the CD tray and place it in its box or sleeve. Store the CD in a safe place.

Note Some application software can be configured to preven t unloading a CD until

you exit the program. If the CD will not eject, check your software.

Emergency ejection of a CD

If a CD does not eject after pressing the CD-ROM drive Eject button, follow this procedure to force it to eject.

Figure 1-2. Emergency ejection of a CD

1. Switch off power to the CD-ROM drive.

2. Find a paper clip or similar object that will fit into the emergency eject access hole.

3. Gently push the tip of the paper clip into the emergency eject access hole until the CD-ROM drive’s tray slides out.

4. Remove the CD and gently push the CD tray back into the CD-ROM drive.

5. Restore power to the CD-ROM drive.

Handling and storing compact disks (CDs)

Compact Disk Do’s



Do store the CD in its protective case or sleeve.



Do store the CD at temperatures between +10° to +60° C (+14° F to +140° F).



Do allow the CD to stabilize after moving it from one temperature extreme to anothe r before using.



Do wipe a dirty CD with a clean, soft cloth. Wipe in straight line, starting from the inside edges to the outside edges in a non-circular motion.



Do replace damaged CDs.

Compact Disk Don’ts



Don’t touch the underside (unprinted surface) of the CD with your fingers.



Don’t scratch the reflective top surface of the CD.



Don’t drop the CD.

Specifications

Service 2-1

Maintaining the CD-ROM Drive

Your CD-ROM drive is designed to give you years of trouble-free service. The drive should produce consistent results with minimal errors.

Environmental limits

Operate the drive within the environmental limits listed on Table 2-1, “Specifications,” on page 2-5.

Preventive maintenance

The CD-ROM drive does not require scheduled cleaning or other preventive maintenance. Always keep CD tray closed except when inserting or ejecting a CD. This prevents dust from entering

the CD-ROM drive. If a CD has dirt or smears on its read area (the underside of the disk), disk access time will be degraded.

An indicator of this condition is when the Drive Status LED blinks slowly (at a rate of 3.2 seconds). Keep CDs free of dirt or grease.

2-2 A3715A CD-ROM Drive User’s Guide

Troubleshooting

The first indication of a problem with the CD-ROM drive will probably be in the form of a message from the application using the CD-ROM drive. If a problem occurs, check the Drive Status LED.

If the drive has a problem which cannot be solved

If the drive has a problem which cannot be solved, contact the Hewlett-Packard service provider. See the following sections for information about preparing for a service call and repackaging the drive for shipment.

WARNING Do NO T disassemble the CD-ROM drive for any reason. There are no

user-serviceable parts inside the drive.

When disassembled, the CD-ROM drive becomes a Class 1 laser mechanism. When the CD-ROM drive is disassembled, blindness can result from exposure to the invisible laser beam and hazardous invisible laser radiation. Service must be performed only by trained individuals. Attempting to disassemble the CD-ROM drive, will void the warranty and may damage the drive.

Service 2-3

Preparing for a service call

If the CD-ROM drive requires service, there are several things you can do to help the Hewlett-Pac kard service provider identify and solve a problem quickly. Do the following before calling for assistance:

1. Locate and record the CD-ROM drive’s serial number. It is on the bottom of the unit.

2. Record any error messages displayed by the operating system or the software application which was running when the trouble occurred.

3. Record any details about the operation which was being performed when the problem occurred. Record the condition of the Drive Status LED. Is it off, flashing or lit steadily?

4. Contact the Hewlett-Packard service provider for assistance in solving the problem.

Reshipment Guidelines

If it is necessary to send the drive to a repair facility, follow these repackaging instructions:

1. Contact the Hewlett-Packard service provider to coordinate the return.

2. Attach a tag to the drive to identify the owner and indicate the reason for the return. Include the drive’s part number and serial number.

3. Repack the drive in its original shipping container and packing material. If the original container and packing material are not available, order a replacement container and packing material from the Hewlett-Packard service provider.

Hewlett-Packard reserves the right to reject a warranty claim for a product that was improperly repacked before shipment.
