Product Description

The HP J4148A SureStore CD Expansion Tower connects to an
HP server or server/tower, using the supplied SCSI cable.
The expansion tower contains seven HP CD-ROM drives in a
single subsystem. The HP CD-ROM drives are daisy-chained
together using an internal SCSI bus interface. The power
required to operate the CD-ROM drives is supplied internally by
the expansion tower.
All components of the tower are completely modular—the drives
are self-configuring modules. In the unlikely event a drive
should fail, replacement is a simple and straightforward proce-
dure.
A drive's SCSI ID is set automatically, based on its position in
the tower. An active terminator, provided with the expansion
tower, must be installed on the back of the tower.
