SCSI Connectors
Use the SCSI connectors to connect external SCSI devices such as DDS-for-
mat tape drives and CD-ROM drives. Consult the documentation that
accompanies each SCSI device for specific information concerning its use.
Refer to Appendix C of this manual for information about connecting SCSI
devices to your workstation.
NOTICE:
There must ALWAYS be a terminator at both ends of a SCSI bus. This
means one internal terminator and one external terminator. The Fast-Wide
Differential SCSI, Ultra-wide, Single-Ended SCSI and Narrow Single-
Ended SCSI connectors must have a terminator connected when no
external device is connected. Note that the fast, wide differential
terminators, ultra-wide, single-ended terminators and the narrow single-
ended terminators are different and not interchangeable.
WARNING:
The C200/C240/C360 workstations have an Ultra Wide-SE SCSI interface in
place of the Fast-Wide SCSI interface. These interfaces are not compatible.
Connecting a Fast-Wide device to an Ultra Wide-SE interface will not work and
may damage the device. Be sure to connect only Fast-Wide devices to a Fast-
Wide interface and Ultra Wide-SE devices to an Ultra Wide-SE interface.
TOC Button
The TOC button resets the system and transfers control from the default
device to an auxiliary device.
Power Cord Connector
Plug the workstation’s power cord into the power cord connector to provide
ac power to the system.

NOTICE
Be sure you read and understand the information on mounting and
unmounting CD-ROM discs before you begin using your CD-ROM disc
drive.
This chapter provides an overview of the optional CD-ROM drive and
media, and describes how to use the CD-ROM drive. We assume the CD-
ROM drive is set to the factory default address of SCSI ID 2.
Some procedures in this chapter require you to log in as root. If you cannot
log in as root, contact your system administrator.

This section describes basic information needed for using the CD-ROM
drive and CD-ROM discs.
CD-ROM Drive
The CD-ROM drive is a random access read-only mass storage device that
uses removable CD-ROM discs. The drive supports the ISO 9660 and High
Sierra format standards. You can access information from the drive like any
other disk drive, except that you cannot write to the drive. The drive contains
a semiconductor laser for reading data optically, and includes an embedded
controller with a SCSI interface.

CD-ROM Drive and CD-ROM Media Descriptions
CD-ROM Media
CD-ROM discs are 120 mm (4.7 in.) in diameter, and use one data surface
with a capacity of approximately 600 megabytes. The data surface contains
pits and flat spots arranged in a continuous spiral track, which is read at a
constant speed. You may access files and data stored on a CD-ROM disc, but
you may not write files or data to a CD-ROM disc.
CD-ROM data discs are identical to audio compact discs (CDs) except that
they store computer data and information.
CAUTION:
Handle CD-ROM discs by the edges only. Always be sure a CD-ROM disc is either
in the CD-ROM drive or its protective case when not in use. This will lessen the
chance of exposing the disc surface to dust. Over time, dust reduces the reliability of
the read head in the CD-ROM drive.
Caring for CD-ROM Discs
Observe the following guidelines to help prevent data loss and prolong the
life of your CD-ROM discs and drive:
•
•
•
Use CD-ROM discs in a clean environment to prevent dust particles from
scratching disc surfaces.
Store CD-ROM discs in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture and heat
damage.
