HP 7750 Best Practices for Using Peripherals with SPE310s, CD-ROM Drive and CD-ROM Drive Tray

Chapter 5 Operating the Cisco ICS 7750

Accessing the System

Note USB devices requiring additional software or installation of non-native Windows 2000 drivers will probably not work with the Cisco ICS 7750. We therefore recommend against trying to use them. If you have additional questions or concerns about using USB devices with the Cisco ICS 7750, contact your Cisco support representative.

•PS/2 keyboards and mice:

–A “Y” splitter cable is provided with the Cisco ICS 7750 to enable you to connect a PS/2 mouse and a PS/2 keyboard to the SPE310.

–If you connect a PS/2 device to an SPE310 after the SPE310 boots, the SPE310 will need to be rebooted in order for the PS/2 device to be recognized by Windows 2000.

Best Practices for Using Peripherals with SPE310s

This section describes best practices for using peripherals with SPE310s.

CD-ROM Drive and CD-ROM Drive Tray

The following are best practices for using a CD-ROM drive and the CD-ROM tray with SPE310s:

•Connecting the CD-ROM drive—Do not connect the CD-ROM drive while the SPE310 is booting.

•Disconnecting the CD-ROM drive:

–If the SPE310 is running, use an attached monitor to locate the Unplug or Eject Hardware icon in the Windows System Tray (in the lower right corner of the screen, typically, unless the taskbar has been moved). The icon looks like a small card with an arrow floating above it. Click the icon. In the pop-up menu displayed, select Stop USB Mass Storage Device - Drive (D:).

–After Windows 2000 reports that the device has been stopped, you can safely disconnect the USB CD-ROM drive cable from the SPE310 USB port.
