External CD-ROM drive
An external CD-ROM drive is available for the DLoG MPC 6. This is connected via the
USB port.
When connecting an external USB CD-ROM drive which has its
own external power supply the DLoG MPC 6 must be disconnected
from the power supply. The CD-ROM must be powered up
simultaneously
or
after
the DLoG MPC 6 as otherwise this can
cause start-up problems, malfunctions, or even the destruction of
the device.
Please note: Not every device classified as a USB CD-ROM is a
proper USB CD-ROM drive. Only use devices approved by DLoG to
ensure the device is fully compatible.
Operation
The CD-ROM drive port is provided via USB. The drive, which is supplied in a separate
housing, is connected to one of the sockets on the back of the DLoG MPC 6.
Depending on the model, the external drive is powered either via the DLoG MPC 6
connecting cable or via a separate external power supply.
If USB has been activated in the BIOS, the CD-ROM drive is automatically recognized
and made available by the BIOS.
The CD-ROM drive is bootable once it has been properly installed. To boot from a CD-
ROM, insert a bootable CD and start the system.
In the BIOS
USB CDROM
must be entered as a boot device.
