1 Setting up the Optical Disk Drive
Setting up the HP SureStore Optical 2600fx This chapter discusses the environment, hardware and procedures that are necessary to connect a 2600fx optical disk drive to the host computer: • preparing the environment • understanding the rear panel • setting up the optical disk drive address • choosing the operation mode • connecting the 2600fx drive to the host system • preparing the host computer for use with the 2600fx • troubleshooting 1-2
Preparing the Environment The following environmental factors will help ensure top performance of your optical disk drive. Clearance Requirements A minimum of 70-80 mm (3 in.) is required behind the rear panel and in front of the optical disk drive for air circulation. Location Requirements Position the drive away from sources of particulate contamination such as frequently-used doors and walkways, printers, stacks of supplies that collect dust, and smoke-filled rooms.
Rear Panel Features Identify the following rear panel features before you connect the optical disk drive to the host system.
The following numbers correspond to the numbers in the drawing on the previous page. 1 Operation mode switch Used to choose the operating mode. Refer to “Setting the Operation Mode” in this section. 2 SCSI ID switch Used to set the SCSI ID. 3 Power connector Connection for power cord. 4 On/Off switch Used to switch power on or off. 5 SCSI connectors Two connectors that allow SCSI devices to be daisy-chained.
Setting the SCSI ID Follow these steps to set the SCSI ID. Caution Before disconnecting power to any device on the SCSI bus, make sure the bus is inactive. Switching off power while the SCSI bus is active can result in data loss or indeterminate bus states. 1. Make sure the power to the drive is switched off. 2. Locate the SCSI ID switch on the rear panel of the disk drive. Refer to Figure 1-1, “Rear Panel Features.” 3.
Setting the Operation Mode The mode selection switch designates operating mode of the 2600fx: • Select 0 to operate the optical disk drive as an optical memory device. • Select 1 to operate the optical disk drive as a direct access device. Hewlett-Packard recommends operating the optical disk drive as an optical memory device. The direct access mode can be used with systems that do not recognize optical memory devices.
Connecting to the Host Computer When you are ready to connect the optical disk drive to your host computer, note the following cautions. Then complete the steps below. Caution Perform a full system backup prior to connecting the optical disk drive to the host computer for full data protection. Verify that the bus is inactive before disconnecting power to any device on the SCSI bus. Shutting off any device while the SCSI bus is active can result in data loss or indeterminate bus states.
Note For some host computers to recognize the optical disk drive, the power to the disk drive must be switched on before the power to the host computer. 7. Install the drivers appropriate to your host system. If you are connecting the optical disk drive to an HP-UX® 10.0 host, refer to Appendix B for configuration information. If you purchased a software package for use with this optical drive, consult the software user’s guide for information on how to install the drivers.
Troubleshooting If you are having problems with the optical disk drive, check to make sure: • • • • the power cord connection is tight the SCSI cables are connected properly the power switch located on the rear panel is ON the software drivers are loaded properly If the above actions do not solve the problem, contact a service representative. Refer to Appendix A for a list of Hewlett-Packard offices.
2 Using Optical Disks
Using Optical Disks The optical disks that you use in the optical disk drive are an integral part of the storage process. This chapter provides information on the following: • choosing an optical disk • labeling an optical disk • maintaining an optical disk • write-protecting an optical disk Note For top performance and reliability, Hewlett-Packard recommends HP-labeled optical disks that have been fully tested for use with HP’s optical products.
Choosing Optical Disks Optical disks are available in three capacities: 650 Mbytes, 1.3 Gbytes, and 2.6 Gbytes. The optical disk drive can read from and write to both 1.3 Gbyte disks and 2.6 Gbyte disks. The drive can read from, but not write to, 650 Mbyte disks. To receive maximum storage capacity, you should choose 2.6 Gbyte optical disks. Two types of optical disks are available: rewritable disks and write-once disks.
Labeling Optical Disks Make it a practice to label your optical disks. Adhesive labels are provided with each disk. You can use the following labeling suggestions: • date of format or initialization • disk owner (group/department, etc.) • storage purpose (backup, old version of operating system, etc.) Apply the label to the optical disk in an area that does not interfere with the movement of the metal shutter.
Write-Protecting Optical Disks Each side of an optical disk can be write-protected by sliding the write-protect button in the direction of the arrow on the disk. With rewritable optical disks, the use of the write protect button ensures data safety for files that have been previously written to the disk and prevents any additional files being written to the disk. With write-once optical disks, existing files cannot be altered or erased whether or not the write-protect button has been set.
Maintaining Optical Disks Follow these guidelines to maintain your disk: • • • • • • • • • • 2-6 Do not expose the disk to extreme magnetic fields. Do not expose the disk to dust particles. Do not expose the disk to extreme temperatures or extreme humidity. Do not drop the disk. Do not open the shutter and touch the disk surface. Do not take the disk cartridge apart. Do not clean the disk’s surface. Do not insert disks with loosely attached labels into the drive.
3 Operating the Optical Disk Drive
Operating the Optical Disk Drive This chapter explains the features used to operate the optical disk drive.
Identifying Front Panel Features The following list of features corresponds to the numbers in Figure 3-1: 1 Disk slot A slot for inserting optical disks 2 Activity indicator Remains lit while the drive is loading or unloading a disk during the powerup selftest sequence, and any time the drive is being accessed. 3 Power indicator Remains lit while the power is on 4 Eject tool opening An access hole for the eject tool.
Manually Ejecting Disks The optical disk drive does not automatically eject an optical disk if a power failure occurs. An eject tool is shipped with the optical disk drive to use for manually ejecting a disk. Follow these steps to manually remove a disk from the optical drive: 1. Disconnect all power to the drive. 2. Insert the eject tool into the small round hole in the front panel of the drive, push the eject tool firmly, and the disk will eject.
