The DVD burner drive is an optional device feature. Recording methods supported by the
disk drive:
● Disc-At-Once
● Track-At-Once
● Session-At-Once
● Packet writing
For additional information, refer to the technical specifications.
No additional software is required under Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 to use all
functionalities of the DVD burner. The software for the DVD burner is part of the mentioned
operating systems.
If you are using a different operating system, ensure that the software required for the DVD
burner is installed.
Note
When first starting the burner software, no disks should be inserted in the drive. Faulty data
storage media can interrupt the
automatic drive recognition. This makes it impossible to
correctly display the possible burner functions.
Burner operation is only permitted in an environment free of shock and vibration.
Data errors during burning
It cannot be ruled out that vibrations in the environment and varying quality of raw discs
could result in data errors when burning data media, even when no error message occurs.
Data comparison is the only guarantee that data has been written correctly. Perform data
comparison each time you burn a disc.
The hard disks in the removable drive bay can be replaced during operation in connection
with RAID.
● A hard disk of the same interface type
The interface type of the hard disk is displayed on the front door. Always replace the
defective hard disk with a new one of the same interface type and capacity.
● A key for the hard disk lock
