Problems using CD-ROM discs
You insert a CD-ROM disc, but its icon doesn’t appear on the Macintosh
desktop.

Make sure that the disc label is facing up and the disc is centered in the
tray. If you’re using a small (8 cm) disc, make sure it is within the tray’s
inner ring.

Make sure the tray is closed all the way.

Try restarting your server.

Try starting your server from the CD-ROM disc that contains system
software while holding the “c” key down. If only the hard drive icon
appears on the desktop, then there may be a hardware problem with
your CD-ROM drive. If the CD-ROM icon appears above the hard drive
icon, try reinstalling your CD-ROM software following the instructions
in “Reinstalling CD-ROM Software” later in this chapter.

If you installed the CD-ROM drive after you bought your server, make
sure the CD-ROM software is installed. (Refer to the documentation that
came with the CD-ROM drive.)
Software for the built-in CD-ROM is already installed on your server. You
can reinstall it by following the procedure in “Reinstalling CD-ROM
Software” later in this chapter.
Your server displays the message “This is not a Macintosh disk: Do you
want to initialize it?” when you insert a CD-ROM disc in the CD-ROM
drive.

Make sure that the Foreign File Access and Audio CD Access CD-ROM
extensions are installed in your Extensions Folder and are turned on. (If
they are not turned on, use the Extensions Manager control panel to turn
them on and then restart your server.
m
Make sure the CD-ROM software is installed. Software for the built-in
CD-ROM is already installed on your server. If you installed another CD-
ROM drive after buying your server, see the manual that came with your
drive.
