Chapter 5 Operating the Cisco ICS 7750
Accessing the System
Note If you fail to use the Unplug or Eject Hardware tool and if you plug 
in and unplug the CD-ROM drive many times, the drive may stop 
responding. If this happens, disconnect the CD-ROM drive, wait 
5 minutes, and try reconnecting it again. If the drive still fails to 
respond, reboot the SPE310; it should be recognized after Windows 
reboots. If the CD-ROM still fails, contact your Cisco support 
representative. 
• Using the CD-ROM drive tray:
–
A CD-ROM drive tray is provided with the Cisco ICS 7750. The 
CD-ROM drive tray and the CD-ROM drive are not intended to be 
connected to the SPE310 for extended periods of time. Leaving the 
CD-ROM drive tray in place can interfere with airflow into the chassis. 
Always remove the CD-ROM drive and drive tray when you finish using 
them.
–
The CD-ROM drive tray is designed only for the weight of the CD-ROM 
drive. Never place heavy objects or items other than the CD-ROM drive 
on the drive tray because placing such objects on the tray may damage 
the ventilation grille or may impede airflow into the chassis. 
Keyboards and Mice
The following are best practices for using a PS/2 keyboard and mouse with 
SPE310s:
• PS/2 keyboards and mice:
–
Connect these devices before booting the SPE310, if possible. If you 
connect a PS/2 mouse or keyboard to an operational SPE310, you must 
reboot the SPE310 in order to use the PS/2 mouse or keyboard.
–
Disconnect the “Y” splitter cable from the keyboard/mouse port on the 
SPE310 when these devices are not being used.
