Hardware Installation
Before you begin:
•
Check that the power supply is marked with the correct mains
voltage.
•
Make sure that power is not connected to the CD-ROM
server or any of the CD-ROM drives you are about to connect
to it. The SCSI bus may be damaged if you connect or discon-
nect any units when the power is on.
•
Make sure that your network is ready to accept a new node.
•
Any network configuration should always involve the network
manager.
Connecting CD-ROM Drives to the Axis CD-ROM Server
Up to seven SCSI CD-ROM drives can be serviced by a single Axis
CD-ROM Server. The external drives are connected using the
appropriate SCSI cable, which must be ordered separately
•
If you are using an AXIS 851 or AXIS 951 CD-ROM Server
with an internal drive, the internal termination must be turned
off before installing the external drives. See the User's Manual.
1. Connect the SCSI cable to the external connector on the CD-
ROM server.
2. Connect the SCSI cable to the external drive.
3. Set the SCSI address of the external drive. Each connected drive
must have a unique SCSI address. SCSI addresses 0 through 6
may be used. For Axis 851 and Axis 951 SCSI address 0 is used
for the internal drive.
4. The last drive in the SCSI chain must be terminated. No other
external CD-ROM drive should be terminated.
Connecting the CD-ROM server to the network
1. Record the CD-ROM server serial number. You will need this
number when installing the CD-ROM server. The number is
found on the label on the back of the server.
2. If you have a Token Ring network, set the Ring Speed switch on
the back panel of your Axis 950 or Axis 951 CD-ROM Server to
the ring speed of your network (4 or 16 Mb/s).
3. Connect the network cable to the appropriate connector.
4. Connect power to all external drives and switch them on.
5. Connect power to the Axis CD-ROM Server. When the STATUS
indicator stops flashing and remains unlit, the CD-ROM server is
ready for use.
