HP J3278B - SureStore CD-ROM Server/Tower 7 NAS... User manual

Before You Begin
Typical Ethernet (10Base-T) Network with an
HP CD-ROM Server Stand-Alone Module
•Stand-Alone version only: Verify that the
CD-ROM Server power supply (19V DC) is
marked with the correct AC voltage and fre-
quency for your country.
•Verify that power is not connected to the
CD-ROM server or any of the CD-ROM drives.
The SCSI bus may be damaged if you connect or
disconnect any units when the power is on.
• Verify with your Network Administrator that a
network connection is set up to add and configure
the CD-ROM server onto the network.
•Record the LAN hardware (MAC) address of
the CD-ROM server. You will need this address
during installation. The address is printed on the
label normally placed on the bottom of the server,
in the form 00-60-B0-hh-hh-hh (where his a hexa-
decimal number).
• Refer to the User’s Guide if you need more detailed
information.

Basic Installation (See User’s Guide,
chapter 2)
Connecting the Hardware
You can connect up to seven
SCSI CD-ROM drives to a
single HP CD-ROM Server.
The drives are connected using
SCSI cables. The cables must
have the proper connectors for
your drives and must be
ordered separately.
1. Connect a SCSI cable to the
SCSI connector on the
CD-ROM server and to the
first CD-ROM drive.
Connect SCSI cables to any additional CD-ROM
drives as required.
2. Connect a SCSI bus terminator to the last drive in the
SCSI chain. No other CD-ROM drive should be
terminated. (The HP CD-ROM Server contains
internal terminators that terminate the other end of
the SCSI bus.)
3. Set the SCSI address of the CD-ROM drives (for
instructions, see the documentation for your drives).
Each connected drive must have a unique SCSI
address. SCSI addresses 0 through 6 may be used.
The HP CD-ROM Server uses SCSI address 7.
4. Connect the network
cable. Use only one of
the Ethernet
connectors (on the
stand-alone module,
either the RJ-45 or
BNC.)
5. Power up the drives,
then the CD-ROM
server. For the
stand-alone module,
ensure all the drives
are on before the
server. When the
STATUS indicator
stops flashing and
remains off (this may require several minutes), the

CD-ROM server is ready for use.
6. Insert a disc into a drive and verify that the green CD
light on the server turns on. If it does not, verify your
SCSI cable connections and then power cycle the
CD-ROM server.
Network Configuration
Novell NetWare 4.x Configuration
As a NetWare 4.x NDS-compatible server, the HP
CD-ROM Server must be installed in the NDS tree,
which simply involves setting the appropriate
configuration parameters.
1. Use a Windows platform tool (such as Network
Neighborhood in Windows 95 or NT 4.0) to view the
directory structure. Locate the CD-ROM server’s
configuration file, which is at
HP
hhhhhh
_NW\sys\config\config.ini, where
hhhhhh
are the last six digits of the LAN hardware address.
2. Open config.ini with a text editor and enter the
appropriate values in these parameters:
3. Save the config.ini file. This sends the values to the
CD-ROM server. The installation will take about 30
seconds.
4. After installation you must logout and then login
again. Then proceed to “Mounting or Mapping
Network Drives”.
If you are using the SMB protocol to communicate
with the CD-ROM server (e.g., Windows 95 or NT
networks), network configuration is not required.
Proceed directly to “Mounting or Mapping Network
Drives”.
If the CD-ROM server is not on an NDS network (for
example, NetWare 3.x), network configuration is not
required.
NDSTreeName The name of the tree that you want to install
the server into.
NDSServerContext The context in the NDS tree where you want
to install the server.
NDSAdminName Distinguished name of a user or administrator
with Supervisor rights on the [Root] object,
and Create rights in the context where you
are installing the server.
NDSAdminPassword The password of the administrator entered in
NDSAdminName shown above.
NDSInstall Change this to ‘install’ when you are
ready to install the server.

TCP/IP CD-ROM Server Configuration
❏TCP/IP Configuraton (Windows NT)
On a Windows NT system, follow the steps below to set
the Internet (IP) address of the CD-ROM server.
1. Obtain an unused Internet (IP) address from your
Network Administrator for your CD-ROM server.
2. Use the commands below to configure the IP address
on the CD-ROM server. The LAN hardware (MAC)
address of your CD-ROM server must be entered as
six pairs of digits separated by hyphens ‘-’.
Example: (Use the IP address from step 1)
arp -s 192.124.138.80 00-60-b0-10-00-86
ping 192.124.138.80
❏TCP/IP Configuration (UNIX)
On UNIX systems follow the steps below to set the
Internet (IP) address on your CD-ROM server.
1. Obtain an unused IP address from your Network
Administrator.
2. If you are using host names, associate a host name
with your IP address using the appropriate procedures
for your system (consult your Network Administrator
or refer to your system manuals).
3. Use the commands below to configure the IP address
on the CD-ROM server. The LAN hardware address of
your CD-ROM server must be entered as six pairs of
digits separated by colons ‘:’
• If the CD-ROM server is not on a TCP/IP network,
TCP/IP configuration is not required.
• For Windows NT and UNIX, use the instructions
below to configure the IP address. For other
TCP/IP parameters (e.g., subnet mask and default
gateway address), see the User’s Guide.
• For Windows 95 and other systems, refer to the
User’s Guide to configure TCP/IP on the server.
You will need administrator privileges on the NT
server to configure a node on a TCP/IP network.
arp -s <IP address> <LAN hardware address>
ping <IP address>
You will need root privileges on your UNIX system.
arp -s <IP address> <LAN hardware address> temp
ping <IP address>

Example: (Use the IP address from step 1)
arp -s 192.124.138.80 00:60:b0:10:00:86 temp
ping 192.124.138.80
Mounting or Mapping Network Drives
The HP CD-ROM Server is integrated into your network
operating system just like file servers and you use the
same commands to access it. To be able to access
CD-ROMs from your applications, you need to make
them available to your system, that is, you “mount” the
CD-ROM server on UNIX systems or “map” the server to
a drive letter on PC systems.
Select the appropriate procedure below to mount or map
the CD-ROM server. After the CD-ROM server is
mounted or mapped, you access it just like any other disk
drive or file server connected to your system.

Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer).
2. Enter the Internet (IP) address or host name of the
CD-ROM server as the URL (for example,
http://192.124.138.80).
3. When the CD-ROM server home page is displayed, you
are communicating with the CD-ROM server. (If
desired, save the URL using the browser’s Bookmarks
or Favorites utilities.)
4. Under ‘Accessible CDs’, you can click a CD to see the
contents.
Accessing a new CD-ROM disc
When you insert a disc into any connected drive, a
directory is created on the server. The directory name
will be the disc’s volume name (if a volume name in upper
case had been assigned on the disc during manufacture).
If a volume name can’t be identified, the name
cd_nnnnn
(where
nnnnn
is a unique 5 digit number) will be
assigned. The data on the disc is accessed through this
directory.
Note: Some CD-ROM software may require that the disc
be assigned an individual drive letter in Windows. See
chapter 4 in the User’s Guide for details.
If a valid disc is inserted into any connected drive,
the green ‘CD’ light on the HP CD-ROM Server
should turn on. If it does not, power off your
CD-ROM server and drives, check your SCSI cable
connections. Restore power first to the drives, then
the CD-ROM server.
