HP CD-ROM Server User's Guide

Basic Installation 2-9

Note ❏ You should refer to the documentation provided with your

CD-ROM drive. Some SCSI drives may contain special

termination instructions.

If you are installing the CD-ROM server in a tower, connect the

power connector and replace the tower enclosure.

Connecting the

CD-ROM Server to

the Network

The HP CD-ROM Server Stand-Alone Module is equipped with

RJ-45 (twisted-pair cable) and and BNC (thin coaxial cable

connectors.

The Tower Module, on the other hand, provides RJ-45 and an

AUI (Attachment Unit Interface, 15d-pin ‘D’) connectors. The

AUI connector allows you to connect to a 10Base2 (thin coax),

10Base5 (thick coax) or fiber-optic cable network using an

appropriate external transceiver.

To connect the CD-ROM server to your network follow these

steps:

Note ❏ Verify that power to the CD-ROM server is off. (For the stand-

alone module, simply disconnect the power connector.)

Connect the network cable to the appropriate connector. Use

only one of the network connectors (on the stand-alone module,

use either the RJ-45 or BNC connector)
