NOTE

Using Your CD Drive

Here are the topics covered in this chapter:

•Operating the CD Drive

•Mounting and Unmounting a CD

•Verifying the CD Drive Operation

•Configuring the CD Driver

•Audio Control for the CD Drive

•CD Media Description

The instructions in this chapter assume you are using the HP-UX 10.20 operating system and Workstation Additional Core Enhancements for HP-UX 10.20 (June 1999) with the HP CDE interface.

For information about installing or removing a CD drive, see Chapter 5 of this document.

Be sure you have read and understand the information on mounting and unmounting CDs before you begin using your CD drive.

This chapter requires you to be superuser (root). If you cannot log in as root, contact your system administrator.

In this chapter, the terms “CD” and “CD drive” are use rather than “CD-ROM” and “CD-ROM drive” because the CD drives used in the B1000 and the C3000 can read the original CD-ROM disks, plus CD-R disks and the newer CD-RW disks (also called “CD-RAM” because they are rewritable). Thus, since not all CDs are ROMs any longer, that portion of the term has been dropped.

Incidentally, the CD drives also are multisession-capable.
