CD- or DVD-Drive Problems and Solutions
The CD or DVD drive has a single LED that indicates whether the drive is busy. It does
not have an LED that indicates whether a fault has occurred.
Tabl e 3 -9 lists some possible problems that the CD-ROM drive could encounter, as well
as some corrective actions.
Slow response time The disk drive might be full. Ideally, at least 15 percent of the disk drive
should be free for system activity. Delete unnecessary files, or move files
to another disk drive.
You might need to defragment the disk drive.
Mirror regeneration might be occurring. Try to schedule mirror
regeneration for a time when the system is not heavily used. However, if
the disk contains business-critical data, you should regenerate the mirrors
as soon as possible.
The disk drive might be reading a compressed file. In the future, avoid
compressing files that are heavily used.
Many read or write operations might be queued to the disk drive. If the
Express5800/320Ma Software Availability Manager indicates an unusually
high number of disk requests outstanding, you should examine how your
applications are using the disks. For more information about the
Express5800/320Ma Software Availability Manager, see the
Express5800/320Ma Software Availability Manager User’s Guide.
Errors might be occurring on the drive. Check the system event log.
