2.1.6 Configuring Removable Drives and Media

SLED supports a wide variety of removable drives and media, including storage devices, cameras,
scanners, and more. The configurations for many of these devices are set up automatically when
SLED is installed. To change the configuration for a drive or other removable device, click
Computer > Control Center > Hardware > Removable Drives and Media.
Some of the possible configuration settings include:
• What happens when a blank CD is inserted in the CD drive
• What happens when an audio CD is inserted in the drive
• Whether images are automatically imported from a digital camera when it is attached to the
computer
• Whether removable storage devices are mounted when they are plugged in to the computer
• Whether PDAs are automatically synced when attached to the computer
In general, you do not need to change the settings that are already configured unless you want to
change the behavior when a device is connected or if you want to connect a new device that is not
yet configured. If you attach a device for the first time and it behaves in an unexpected or undesired
way, check the Removable Drives and Media settings.

2.1.7 Configuring a Scanner

The Scanner configuration enables you to attach and configure a scanner, or to remove an already-
attached scanner.
NOTE: Scanner configuration is done in YaST2 and requires root privileges.
To open YaST2 and configure a scanner, click Computer > Control Center > Hardware > Scanner.
Refer to the instructions on the Scanner Configuration screen for information about the available
options.
