This CD-RW drive can either be installed to replace an existing CD-ROM drive or as a new drive
where none existed before. It also may have been integrated into your computer at the HP factory. HP
CD-RW drives were designed to operate in the horizontal position. Do not position your workstation
so the CD-RW drive is in a vertical position.
If you are replacing an existing CD-ROM drive with the CD-RW Drive, you must load the
PHKL_24282 (for HP-UX 11.0) or PHKL_24283 (for HP-UX 11i) patches from the CD-RW software
media. If you are installing a new drive where none existed before, you must load the patches from
the http://us-support.external.hp.com web site. Make sure these patches are installed on your sys-
tem before attempting to install the hardware.
