The HP SureStore server/towers connect CD-ROM drives to twisted-pair networks�either IEEE 802.3i 10-Base-T Ethernet. All users on the net-work can share the information on any CD in the tower. The server module located in the top bay of the 8-bay server/tower is internally connected to the other 7 bays, into which you may add and exchange CD-ROM drives, DVD-ROM drives, and CD changers.The SCSI bus on the Server/Tower 7Plus is extendable to another SCSI bus. This product houses seven drives and can be attached to the seven-bay HP C2988A SureStore CD-ROM Tower to serve up to 14 drives. Or, it can be attached to a daisy chain of up to 4 additional SCSI-2 stand-alone drives. HP SureStore CD-ROM server/towers directly connect as nodes on an Ethernet network. The server/tower acts as a network file server, so that a network client communicates directly with it. This results in high performance and reliability. Since all three server/towers act as servers, this guide will use the term �server� to refer to any of these server/tower products on the network. Installation and configuration is simple. In most environments, the network connection is the only installation required prior to using the CD-ROM server. There is no software that must be installed on clients or file servers. Your computer will see the server simply as another network file server, and you access it using standard network operating system commands. The server also supports the HTTP protocol. Therefore, you can access and manage it using a standard web browser, such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer.
