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 complete 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.comweb site. Make sure these patches are installed on your system before attempting to install the hardware.
