Supported Features.
This product (and associated software) is intended to be used primarily
as a data storage and exchange device. Hewlett-Packard does not support the creation or duplication
of audio CDs using this product and software. It is also recommended that you DO NOT use this drive
as a backup tool.
Hardware Installation
The A785xA CD-RW drive you have purchased may be installed in any one of several models of HP-
UX Workstations - b1000, b2000, b2600, c3000, c3600, c3650, c3700, j5600, j6000 or j6700. For com-
plete instructions on how to install the drive on your system, please refer to the appropriate Owners
Guide, Parts Replacement Guide or Technical Reference for your system. These documents can be
found at:
http://www.hp.com/workstations/support/documentation/hpux_manuals.html
This CD-RW drive can either be installed to replace an existing CD-ROM drive or as a new drive
where none existed before. It also may have been integrated into your computer at the HP factory. HP
CD-RW drives were designed to operate in the horizontal position. Do not position your workstation
so the CD-RW drive is in a vertical position.
If you are replacing an existing CD-ROM drive with the CD-RW Drive, you must load the
PHKL_24282
(for HP-UX 11.0) or
PHKL_24283
(for HP-UX 11i) patches from the CD-RW software
media. If you are installing a new drive where none existed before, you must load the patches from
the
http://us-support.external.hp.com
web site. Make sure these patches are installed on your sys-
tem before attempting to install the hardware.
