RRD-Series CD–ROM Drive
3.1 General
RRD-Series CD–ROM drives are compact disc, read-only memory (ROM),
Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) devices. These drives read data
from industry standard 600-MB discs. To meet the requirements of a wide
variety of applications, the RRD-series of CD–ROM drives support all CD–
ROM standards including CD–ROM-XA (CD–ROM-eXtended Architecture),
Multisession Photo CD, and MPC (Multimedia Products Council) 1 and 2, and
is CD-I ready.
3.2 RRD-Series CD–ROM Drive Installation Preparation
RRD-series CD–ROM drives require that bus node ID jumpers be set on the
drive before the ISE is installed in a BA400-series enclosure.
When installing an RRD-series CD–ROM drive, refer to the reference booklet
or data sheet that is shipped with the drive to set the proper bus node ID
(SCSI ID) jumpers. Also ensure that the TERM PWR and the TERM ENABLE
jumpers are removed. Failure to remove the TERM ENABLE jumper will
cause improper operation of the drive.
In VAX 4000 systems, the SCSI termination and TERM PWR are provided by
the controller module on one end of the bus and termination for the other end
of the bus is provided by an external terminator.
Note
Refer to Section 1.4.4 for bus node ID configuration guidelines.
