RRD40 Compact Disc Drive(s)
A compact disc is an optical, read-only storage media. The InfoServer 100
comes with one or two compact disc drives, depending on the unit you
ordered. The drives are behind the server’s front panel. The InfoServer
100 can bootstrap from compact disc, although the internal RZ23 hard
disk drive is the primary bootstrap device.
You can use the RRD40 drive for many purposes, such as software
installation and database storage.
You can increase the number of compact disc drives on your server by
using RRD40 expansion boxes. See Chapter 4 to learn about these add-on
devices.
Console Terminal
The InfoServer 100 is designed to require a minimum amount of system
management. You normally issue server commands by using a LAT
terminal session created to the InfoServer 100 from a terminal server.
In the rare event that your server has problems communicating with
client systems, you should connect a terminal to MMJ port 1 on the back
of the system unit and use Chapter 6 to troubleshoot the problem. The
recommended console terminal is a VT300 series terminal.
