Using Your CD Drive
Here are the topics covered in this chapter:
• Operating the CD Drive
• Mounting and Unmounting a CD
• Verifying the CD Drive Operation
• Configuring the CD Driver
• Audio Control for the CD Drive
• CD Media Description
The instructions in this chapter assume you are using the HP-UX 10.20
operating system and Workstation Additional Core Enhancements for
HP-UX 10.20 (June 1999) with the HP CDE interface.
For information about installing or removing a CD drive, see Chapter 5
of this document.
NOTE Be sure you have read and understand the information on mounting and
unmounting CDs before you begin using your CD drive.
NOTE This chapter requires you to be superuser (root). If you cannot log in as
root, contact your system administrator.
In this chapter, the terms “CD” and “CD drive” are use rather than
“CD-ROM” and “CD-ROM drive” because the CD drives used in the
B1000 and the C3000 can read the original CD-ROM disks, plus CD-R
disks and the newer CD-RW disks (also called “CD-RAM” because they
are rewritable). Thus, since not all CDs are ROMs any longer, that
portion of the term has been dropped.
Incidentally, the CD drives also are multisession-capable.
