Action
Note: Because the BladeCenter unit uses USB to communicate with the media
tray devices, switching ownership of the media tray to another blade workstation is
the same as disconnecting a USB device. Before you switch ownership of the CD
or DVD drive (media tray) to another blade workstation, safely stop the media tray
devices on the blade workstation that currently owns the media tray, as follows:
1. Double-click the Unplug/Eject Hardware icon in the Windows taskbar.
2. Select USB Floppy and click Stop.
3. Select USB Mass Storage Device and click Stop.
4. Click Close.
You can now safely switch ownership of the media tray to another blade
workstation.
Action
Disconnect the BladeCenter unit from all electrical sources, wait for 30 seconds,
reconnect the BladeCenter unit to the electrical sources, and restart the blade
workstation. If the problem remains, see "Solving undetermined problems" on page
80, and the Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide or Problem
Determination and Service Guide for your BladeCenter unit.
