26 Installing and Configuring the Avaya S8400 Server January 2008
Connecting the CD/DVD-ROM drive to the server
There are three external USB CD/DVD-ROM drives that support the S8400 Servers:
● Panasonic Digistor 73082:
-
The switch must be turned to the ON position.
-
Instead of AC power, the Panasonic uses Lithium ION battery for additional power.
USB 2.0 readers draw more power than the standard USP ports that are available on
the S8400 Servers can supply. To compensate for this shortfall, the Digistor drive
contains an internal Lithium ION battery that makes up the current difference between
what the USB port can provide and what the drive requires.
The internal ION battery must be fully charged for the drive to operate properly.
Anytime the ION battery is depleted and the drive attempts to operate, the red LED on
the top of the case will light and a failed to mount cdrom message appears on the
laptop screen. The red LED is not bright so careful observation is required. The ION
battery can be charged by plugging the CD-ROM drive in a USB port for approximately
30 minutes. The ION battery charges faster if the ON/OFF switch is set to OFF. To
preserve the battery, keep the ON/OFF switch in the OFF position until you are ready
to use the Digistor drive.
● TEAC: The TEAC CD reader still works but is no longer available for purchase.
● Addonics (not available through Avaya):
-
Requires AC power to operate.
-
The switch must be set to EXTernal to operate.
Note:
Note: The CD/DVD-ROM drive must be placed on a surface within 5 degrees of level.
To connect the CD/DVD-ROM drive to the S8400 Server:
1. If this is an Addonics drive, plug one end of the CD/DVD-ROM power cord into the drive
and plug the other end of the cord into an electrical outlet.
2. Set the power switch to "EXT" (Addonics) or to ON (Panasonic). The TEAC drive does not
have a switch.
3. Connect the USB cable to the USB port on the faceplate of the server and the other end of
the USB cable to the CD/DVD-ROM drive (all 3 readers).
4. Place the Avaya Communication Manager CD-ROM into the external CD/DVD-ROM drive.
