DVD Supported on the HP 3000
The embedded CD-ROM shipped with many HP 3000 servers has come to the end of its
life. However, many customers purchased HP 3000s with CD-ROMs to take advantage of
system update material and manuals that are available on CDs. The A3715A, a 12x
CR-ROM, is being replaced by the new DVD-ROM. The DVD-ROM supports usage of the
older CD-ROM disks.
Customers wishing to take advantage of DVD-ROM for updates, can simply add a
DVD-ROM to their HP 3000 system. For customers in support contracts, who have older
CD-ROMs, your CD-ROM will be replaced with a DVD-ROM, if there are no CD-ROMs
available. The DVD-ROM drive unit has a 32X CD-ROM transfer rate. The DVD-ROM is
supported in the following packages:

Year 2000 Patches

correct these problems, but additional patches may be required. Please refer to the web
