software.

Hard Drive Mirroring Configuration

The IDE subsystem of the Sun Blade 150 system has two independent channels
designated “primary” and “secondary.” The system riser board has a connector for
each IDE Channel, labelled IDE1 (J504) and IDE 2 (J503).

Note – When mirroring hard drives in a Sun Blade 150 system, both hard drives

should be jumpered as “CS,” “Cable Select” or “Enable Cable Select” to allow for
automatic configuration.

Two IDE cables are required for this configuration. Each cable is connected to the
riser board at one end and to a hard drive connector at the other end.
shows this hardware configuration (with an optional CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive).

CD or DVD Handling and Use

Inserting a CD or DVD Into the Drive

1. After the system is powered on, push the eject button on the CD-ROM or
DVD-ROM drive to open the drive tray.

Sun Blade 150 CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, and Hard Drive Installation 15

2. Place the CD (label side up) into the tray.

Ensure that the CD is properly set into the recessed area of the tray.

3. Push the tray to close it.

Ejecting a CD or DVD

You may need to unmount the CD before manually ejecting it.

There are three ways to eject a CD:

■ Press the eject button on the front of the CD-ROM drive.

■ Use software commands to eject the CD. Refer to the peripherals handbook that

corresponds with your operating system.

■ If the motorized eject mechanism does not operate, insert a thin, stiff wire (such

as a paper clip) into the hole next to the eject button.

Cleaning a CD or DVD

!

If your CD-ROM drive cannot read a CD or DVD, the cause may be a dirty CD or
DVD. Follow these guidelines to clean a CD or DVD:

■ Use a soft, clean, lint-free, dry cloth.

■ Clean the unlabeled side of the CD or DVD.

■ Wipe the CD radially from the center to the outside.

■ Use professional cleaning kits.

Caution – Do not use solvents such as benzine, paint thinner, antistatic aerosol

spray, or abrasive cleaners to clean CDs.

Handling and Storing CDs and DVDs

Follow these guidelines when handling and storing CDs:

■ Handle CDs only by their edges; avoid touching CD or DVD surfaces.

■ Write only on the premarked label side of a CD or DVD. Use a soft felt-tip marker.

■ Do not use CDs in high-dust environments.

■ Keep CDs out of direct sunlight, extreme sources of heat or cold, and away from

dust and moisture.

■ Make sure CDs are at room temperature before using them.

■ Store CDs in storage boxes so that they remain clean and free of dust.
