2.1 Description

The Omni Tower is the modular solution to consolidating your CD-ROM drives.
Organize your data better than ever before with a single Omni Tower with 7 CD-
ROM Drives, or connect up to 28 towers to create any configuration from 7 to 196
drives. Your system grows as you need more disk space. Plus, the Tower's
rackmountable in a standard 19" frame. With the Tower, there's no single point of
failure—all system components are interchangeable and hot-swappable, so you
don't have to power down the system to change drives. An optional backup power
supply is also available to protect your system in case the first power supply fails.
If you already have CD-ROM drives, the OMNI Tower without Drives is your
ideal solution to consolidating them into one easily manageable unit. The 40X
drives for the CD100A unit is our 40X CD-ROM Drive (part number CDROMHS-
R2).
