CSS Software Overview
The CSS software contains the files to run the CSS including boot files, and

preinstalled on the CSS 11800 Internal Disk Module (IDM), or CSS 11050 or
CSS 11150 disk drive. For a CSS 11800 or CSS 11150, the disk can be a hard disk
drive or an optional flash disk, an EPROM-based storage device.
