Disabling USB and CD-RW
Capability
The following instructions give a method to disable the built-in USB and CD-RW
capability. Using the BIOS disables the devices for DOS programs, while the
Windows Device Manager disables the devices for Windows programs. These
procedures disable both USB and the CD-RW to prevent their use.
To Disable USB and CD-RW for Windows Using the Windows Device Manager.
1. Connect a PS2 mouse and a PS2 keyboard to the instrument before powering
on (because USB will be disabled).
2. Log on to the instrument as an administrator.
3. From the Windows Start menu, select Control Panel, and then select System.
4. Select the Hardware tab.
5. Click Device Manager.
6. Expand the Universal Serial Bus controllers entry by clicking the + next to it.
7. Double-click the first USB Root Hub entry.
8. Select the Power tab.
9. If the Device Description is anything other than Generic USB Hub (4 ports),
click the General tab, and select Do not use this device (disable) in the Device
Usage drop-down list.
10. Click OK.
11. Repeat steps 7 through 9 for each USB Root Hub shown in the Device Manager
window.
12. Expand DVD/CD-ROM drives in the Device Manager window.
13. Right-click TEAC DW-224E-C, and select Disable.
14. Reboot the instrument to make the changes effective.
15. We suggest that you password-protect the Windows Administrator account
and set up Guest accounts for end users so that these changes cannot be easily
reversed.
NOTE. If you disable the USB, CD-RW, and LAN in the following procedures, you
cannot write new firmware to the hard drive. To do so, you will need to enable one
of these items.
NOTE. It is critical to leave the USB Root Hub operating, otherwise, the front panel
will not function. If the front panel does not function, the AWG application will not
run.
