Introduction
This user’s guide contains information about installing and
maintaining HP J4148A SureStore CD Expansion Tower.
The HP J4148A SureStore CD Expansion Tower works with the
following products:
•HP J3278A SureStore CD-ROM Server/Tower 7Plus
•HP J3168A SureStore CD-ROM Server (standalone module)
When used with the Server/Tower 7Plus, the expansion tower
extends the capacity of the storage system to 14 CD-ROM drives.
When used with the standalone server, the expansion tower pro-
vides access to seven CD-ROM drives.
The expansion tower can be floor-mounted or rack-mounted.
HP J4148A
SureStore CD
Expansion Tower
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.

Installation
CAUTION! ❏Verify that the power supply input voltage of the expansion
tower is set according to the power standards in the country
of use. If necessary, set the voltage switch on the rear of the
tower (see the illustration below) to 115 volts or 230 volts.
CAUTION! ❏Verify that the power cable is correct for the country of use.
See page 2.
CAUTION! ❏The SCSI bus of either the CD-ROM server or the expansion
tower may be damaged if you connect or disconnect the SCSI
cable when either unit is powered on.
1. Switch power to the CD-ROM server/tower off, or remove
power to the standalone server.
2. Place the expansion tower next to the CD-ROM server, as in
the example of the server/tower shown below.

3. Connect the SCSI cable from the SCSI connector on the CD-
ROM server to the top SCSI connector on the expansion tower.
4. Connect the SCSI terminator to the bottom SCSI connector on
the expansion tower.
5. Connect the power cable to the expansion tower.
6. Connect the power cable to a power source.
7. Switch power to the expansion tower on.
Note ❏The expansion tower must be powered up before the CD-
ROM server. If the server boots before the expansion tower
is powered on, the server will not recognize the CD-ROM
drives in the expansion tower.
8. Switch power to the server/tower on or connect the power to
the standalone server.
SCSI IDs are set automatically on HP CD-ROM drives, based on
their position in the tower. The topmost position is ID 0 and the
lowest position is ID 6. All drives are read by the HP CD-ROM
server.
Verifying the
Installation Follow the procedure in the HP CD-ROM server User’s Guide to
validate the correct operation of the server and the individual
CD-ROM drives.
