DVD Supported on the HP 3000

by Alex Early and Dave Black
Commercial Systems Division

The embedded CD-ROM shipped with many HP 3000 servers has come to the end of its life. However, many customers purchased HP 3000s with CD-ROMs to take advantage of system update material and manuals that are available on CDs. The A3715A, a 12x CR-ROM, is being replaced by the new DVD-ROM. The DVD-ROM supports usage of the older CD-ROM disks.

Customers wishing to take advantage of DVD-ROM for updates, can simply add a DVD-ROM to their HP 3000 system. For customers in support contracts, who have older CD-ROMs, your CD-ROM will be replaced with a DVD-ROM, if there are no CD-ROMs available. The DVD-ROM drive unit has a 32X CD-ROM transfer rate. The DVD-ROM is supported in the following packages:
