This manual contains service and user's information for the SunCD Plus(TM) drive, as well as installation information specific to the Desktop SunCD Plus Pack (DSPP) in which the drive is contained. The manual instructs you on the following tasks:
First read the "Safety Agency Compliance" section at the end of this preface. Then refer to the specific chapters to find the information you need. You must be a qualified service-trained maintenance provider to remove and replace a SunCD Plus drive, a power supply, or an I/O assembly.
This manual is designed so even non-technical users can connect the DSPP to their desktop system and use it's data retrieval capabilities. The manual also contains service information on how to remove and replace various components within the DSPP, but you should be trained to perform these functions before attempting these procedures.
After the hardware connections are made, a system administrator or someone familiar with disk drive software configuration should perform the necessary software steps (such as setting up and mounting file systems). The handbooks shipped with the DSPP describe these procedures.
This manual does not include most of the specific software commands or procedures associated with this product. Instead, it names software tasks and refers you to the appropriate operating system documentation, or to the software handbook that was shipped with your DSPP.
