Warnings and cautions WARNING! Any surface or area of the equipment marked with these symbols indicates the presence of a hot surface or hot component. If this surface is contacted, the potential for injury exists. To reduce the risk of injury from a hot component, allow the surface to cool before touching. WARNING! Any surface or area of the equipment marked with these symbols indicates the presence of an electrical shock hazard.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to this system, observe the following Electro Static Discharge (ESD) precautions while performing the system parts removal/replacement procedures: — Work on a static-free mat. — Wear a static strap to ensure that any accumulated electrostatic charge is discharged from your body to the ground. — Create a common ground for the equipment you are working on by connecting the static-free mat, static strap and peripheral units to that piece of equipment.
Configuration rules and assumptions when installing both SATA and PATA optical disk drives in the same workstation This section provides information on the sequence in which the workstation detects and assigns ODD IDs and drive letters when both SATA and PATA ODDs are installed on a workstation. It also provides configuration rules that determine which SATA ports are functional and which ports can be used to update system BIOS.
Precautions for handling the drive and discs Observe all precautions when handling the drive and discs, as listed below: ● Do not use worn, cracked, warped, or poor quality discs in the optical drive. ● Look for cracks in the clear plastic area in the center of the disc. If cracks are present, do not use the disc in the optical drive. ● Do not affix any adhesive labels to the disc surface. Affixing an adhesive label on the disc can cause damage to the disc and/or optical drive.
WARNING! To avoid the risk of serious injury or damage to the workstation, ensure that the power cord is unplugged from the electrical outlet. 4. Remove the access panel from the workstation, then remove the front bezel by using the green tabs. WARNING! Allow the internal system to cool before touching in order to reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces.
CAUTION: Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the workstation or optional equipment. Before beginning these procedures, ensure that you are static-free by briefly touching a grounded metal object. In addition, avoid touching any exposed metal on the option board/chip or on the workstation's circuit boards. Refer to the “Regulatory notices” section later in this document for additional information. 2. Remove the flat bezel blank from the front bezel of the appropriate drive bay.
CAUTION: Failure to ensure that the optical drive has been properly secured may cause damage to the drive when moving the workstation. NOTE: Refer to the documentation included with your workstation for specific instructions on securing an optional drive. 6. As shown below, connect the workstation power supply power cable (1) to the drive. Then connect the SATA interface cable (2) between the drive and the next available SATA connector on the workstation system board.
NOTE: Refer to “Configuration rules and assumptions when installing both SATA and PATA optical drives in the same workstation,” earlier in this document, for recommended SATA configuration information. 7. Reassemble the workstation by reinstalling the front bezel and access panel, and then reconnecting any peripheral devices to the workstation. Enabling digital audio This section provides the information required to enable digital audio for the drive, based on the operating system in use.
5. Select Configure, then click the Playmode radio button for Digital audio extraction. 6. Click OK. NOTE: If this does not enable the audio, enter the command line: # alsamixer This will open a control window that includes audio channel volume controls. Use the arrow key to move the cursor to the PCM slider, then use the “m” key to toggle PCM to the “on” position. RHEL 5 The ODD digital audio capability is enabled by default when using RHEL 5.
NOTE: The drive bezel and drive controls may not be identical to those shown. 2. Slowly pull the tray out from the drive until the tray is fully extended. 3. Remove the disc. 4. Push the tray back into the drive until the tray locks in place. SATA interface information Serial ATA Standard The Serial ATA interface is fully compliant with ATA protocol, and will appear to the operating system as a standard ATA device.
Item Function 1 90-degree connector 2 Straight connector Regulatory notices This product has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device of the FCC Rules. Refer to the Safety and Regulatory Information guide on the documentation CD that came with your workstation for additional regulatory information governing this product.
