CD-ROM Drive and CD-ROM Media Descriptions

This section describes basic information needed for using the CD-ROM drive and CD-ROM discs.

CD-ROM Drive

The CD-ROM drive is a random access read-only mass storage device that uses removable CD-ROM discs. The drive supports the ISO 9660 and High Sierra format standards. You can access information from the drive like any other disk drive, except that you cannot write to the drive. The drive contains a semiconductor laser for reading data optically, and includes an embedded controller with a SCSI interface.

Using Your CD-ROM Drive

CD-ROM Drive and CD-ROM Media Descriptions

CD-ROM Media

CD-ROM discs are 120 mm (4.7 in.) in diameter, and use one data surface with a capacity of approximately 600 megabytes. The data surface contains pits and ﬂat spots arranged in a continuous spiral track, which is read at a constant speed. You may access ﬁles and data stored on a CD-ROM disc, but you may not write ﬁles or data to a CD-ROM disc.

CD-ROM data discs are identical to audio compact discs (CDs) except that they store computer data and information.

CAUTION: Handle CD-ROM discs by the edges only. Always be sure a CD-ROM disc is either

in the CD-ROM drive or its protective case when not in use. This will lessen the chance of exposing the disc surface to dust. Over time, dust reduces the reliability of the read head in the CD-ROM drive.

Caring for CD-ROM Discs

Observe the following guidelines to help prevent data loss and prolong the life of your CD-ROM discs and drive:

• Use CD-ROM discs in a clean environment to prevent dust particles from

scratching disc surfaces.

• Store CD-ROM discs in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture and heat

damage.

• Don’t try to clean the surface of a CD-ROM disc with cleaning solvents,

as some cleaning solvents may damage the disc.

NOTICE: You must mount the disc after loading it into the drive. Refer to the section

“Mounting and Unmounting a CD-ROM Disc,” later in this chapter, for instructions about mounting a disc.

Using Your CD-ROM Drive

Mounting and Unmounting a CD-ROM Disc

To access information on a CD-ROM disc, you must ﬁrst mount the disc. This applies to ﬁle system information only . If you wish to load a music CD, for example, you would not need to mount the disc. Mounting a disc with ﬁle system information on it gives the disc a pathname that allows your workstation to communicate electronically with it. You must unmount the CD-ROM disc before removing it from the drive.

CAUTION: T o use a CD-ROM disc as a mounted ﬁle system, you must mount the CD-ROM disc

every time you load it into the drive. You must also unmount the CD-ROM disc every time you unload it from the drive. Failure to mount or unmount a disc can cause

a system error condition that can require rebooting the system.

If your workstation is running HP VUE, follow these instructions to mount and unmount a CD-ROM disc as a ﬁle system. If you’re using something other than HP VUE, use the instructions for mounting and unmounting a CD-ROM disc that come with that product. For more information on conﬁguring your CD-ROM drive, see the System Administration Tasks manual or online help.

The procedures in this chapter require you to log in as root. If you cannot log in as root, contact your system administrator.

The CD-ROM drive performs the self test when one of the following happens:

• You load a disc and close the Disc Tray.

• You turn on the workstation with a disc already loaded in the CD-ROM

drive.

For the self test, the busy light operates in the following sequence:

1 Light On - The busy light goes on when the disc loads into the

drive.

2 Light Flashing - The light ﬂashes six times while a read test is per-

formed on the disc.

3 Light Off - The light goes off when the self test is complete.

Using Your CD-ROM Drive

DDS Tape Drive and Data Cassette Descriptions

This section describes basic information needed for using your DDS tape drive and data cassettes.

DDS Drive

Your DDS tape drive is either a DDS-DC (early or later model) or a DDS-2 tape drive with a 3.5-inch form factor, data compression, and a single-ended SCSI interface. Both drives incorporate data compression capability and are high-capacity, high transfer-rate devices for data storage on tape. With compression, the DDS-DC drives can store up to 4 GB of data on a 90 meter tape and the DDS-2 drive can store up to 8 GB of data on a 120 meter tape.

Storage Capacities

The maximum storage capacities of different DDS drives with and without data compression are shown in the following tables;

LED Warning Conditions

The following sections describe actions to take if the LEDs indicate a warning condition.

High Humidity If the LEDs display the high humidity signal, the humidity is

too high. The drive does not perform any operations until the humidity drops.

Self-Test (Failure) If the LEDs display the self-test (failure) signal, a fault

was diagnosed during the self tests. Note the pattern of the pulses and contact your local service representative.

Media Wear (Caution) Hewlett-Packard DDS drives continually monitor the

number of errors they have to correct when reading and writing to a tape to determine tape wear and tape head cleanliness. If excessive tape wear or dirty tape heads are suspected, the drive warns you by displaying the Media Wear (Caution) signal on the LED indicators.

Using Your Digital Data Storage (DDS) Tape Drive

DDS Tape Drive and Data Cassette Descriptions

If the LED indicators on your DDS-format drive display the Media Wear (Caution) condition, follow this procedure:

1 Check the system console for any tape error messages. A hard error during a read

or write operation may have occurred.

2 Clean the heads with a cleaning cassette (HP92283K) as described in “Cleaning

the Tape Heads,” later in this chapter.

3 Repeat the operation you performed when the Media Wear (Caution) signal dis-

played. If the Media Wear (Caution) signal still displays, then the data cassette should be replaced.

4 If you are performing a backup from disk to tape, discard the data cassette and

back up your ﬁles using a new data cassette.

5 If you are performing a restore from tape to disk, complete the restore, back up

the ﬁles to a new data cassette, then discard the data cassette.

Data Cassettes

Media Life

HP DDS data cassettes are currently speciﬁed to 2000 passes over any part of the tape under optimal environmental conditions (50% relative humidity, 22 degrees C). During a tape operation, any one area of the tape may have multiple passes over the heads. This translates into approximately 200 to 300 backups or restores.

Under certain conditions, the life of your data cassette is less. Replace your data cassettes after 100 backups or restores if your operating conditions meet any of the following criteria:

• The relative humidity in your operating environment is consistently less than 50%.

• Y ou know that the backup software you are using makes multiple passes over sections of the tape during backups or restores.

• You notice that when you do backups and restores the tape stops and starts frequently.

Using Your Digital Data Storage (DDS) Tape Drive

DDS Tape Drive and Data Cassette Descriptions

Cleaning the Tape Heads

Clean the heads of your tape drive after every 25 hours of tape drive use or if the Media Wear (Caution) signal is displayed on the LED.

NOTICE: Only use HP Cleaning Cassettes (HP92283K) to clean the tape heads. Do

not use swabs or other means of cleaning the tape heads.

Follow this procedure to clean the tape heads:

1 Insert the cleaning cassette into the drive. The tape automatically loads the cas-

sette and cleans the heads. At the end of the cleaning cycle, the drive ejects the cassette.

2 Write the current date on the label on the cleaning cassette so that you know how

many times you have used it. Discard the cleaning cassette after you have used it 25 times.

Media Restrictions

If you interchange media between other DDS-format tape drives, note that data cassettes with compressed data can only be read by tape drives that have data compression capabilities. This includes data cassettes that contain both compressed and noncompressed data.

Using Your Digital Data Storage (DDS) Tape Drive

DDS Tape Drive and Data Cassette Descriptions

Setting the Write-Protect Tab on a Data Cassette
