<h1 class="topictitle1">Configure optical devices</h1>
<div><p>This topic provides information on configuring your CD-ROM, DVD-ROM,
DVD-RAM devices, and optical medial libraries. iSeries™ servers come with a rack-mounted
CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive.</p>
<p> As an option, you can order a DVD-RAM drive as a feature to replace your
internal drive or to have it in addition to your internal drive. All optical
drives are multi-user devices that multiple users can access concurrently.</p>
<p>Directly attached optical media libraries are attached to the iSeries system
through the small computer system interface (SCSI). On i5/OS™, multiple users can access data on
optical media libraries concurrently. These interfaces are available to access
the data on the CD and DVD devices and optical media libraries:</p>
<ul><li>Save and restore interface</li>
<li>Hierarchical file system (HFS)</li>
<li>Application programming interface (API)</li>
<li>Integrated file system interfaces</li>
<li>Optical commands and utility displays</li>
</ul>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> The CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives on the iSeries server are not enabled for the
digital audio disk format.</div>

<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzam4cfgoptdrive.htm">Configure your optical drive</a></strong><br />
Depending on the model of iSeries server, you can position the
CD-ROM or DVD drive either horizontally or vertically in the system.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzam4cfgoptmedlib.htm">Configure directly attached optical media libraries</a></strong><br />
To create a device description for an optical media library device, use the Create Device Description (Media Library) (CRTDEVMLB) command. Specify device class *OPT. For example:</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzam4labloptcart.htm">Label optical cartridges</a></strong><br />
Each optical disk cartridge contains two sides. Each side corresponds to an optical volume. There are two techniques to associate a volume ID label with the correct side of the optical cartridge. This is important to know when you set the write-protect switch.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzam4getstartoptvol.htm">Get started with optical cartridges and volumes</a></strong><br />
This topic introduces you to some of the optical support functions and familiarizes you with using optical cartridges and volumes.</li>

optical library devices to iSeries. For more information on which devices are
supported and system configuration requirements, see the <a href="http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/optical/">Optical
