USB CD-ROM drive
The USB CD-ROM drive actions verify the functioning of the CD-ROM drive.
Prerequisites for performing actions on the USB CD-ROM drive
To perform actions on the USB CD-ROM drive, a data CD must be inserted in the
drive.
Actions
Use the following actions to diagnose the USB CD-ROM drive:
- Verify CD Drive Media Inserted
This action issues a command through the device driver to detect the media
in the drive and return information about the type of media. This action returns
information about the media including whether the drive contains media.
- Verify Ability to Read Files
This action ensures that there is a clean data path between the USB device
and the operating system. This action reads several files located on the drive,
and stores them in system memory. The action performs several consecutive
reads of those files, verifying that the results read the subsequent times
are identical to those read the first time. Any discrepancies result in the
action failing.
- Eject CD
A command to eject the CD is issued through the device driver. When complete,
the action confirms that the media is not present in the drive. The result
from this action is pass or fail and the CD is ejected.
Results
The Results field displays the results of the action and provides detailed
information for resolving the problem. You might need to use the documentation
that comes with your server or USB CD-ROM device for details about correcting
a failed device.
