Section 1 Introduction
AXIS StorPoint CD E100
The AXIS StorPoint CD E100 connects CD/DVD-ROM drives, CD-R/RW
writers, towers and changers to 10/100 MBit Ethernet networks. All users on the
network can share the information on any disc inserted into a connected drive.
The enclosure and connectors are
designed for installation into a
standard 5
1/4
” tower. An IDE
version, a single and a dual SCSI
port version are available. It is not
possible to mix IDE disks and
drives with a SCSI version, or vice
versa.
The StorPoint CD is server
independent, which means that
no software has to be loaded on
any server, and no additional
software has to be installed on any
client.
The StorPoint CD supports hard
disk caching which means that the
inserted discs can be copied to a hard disk attached to the SCSI or IDE bus. The
caching mechanism allows users to access the networked discs at hard disk speed.
The StorPoint CD supports CD-Recordable drives which means that when a
CD-Recordable drive is connected to the StorPoint CD, this makes is possible to
write files to CD-R/RW discs over the network.
This table lists the maximum number of drives and discs that can be managed by
a single unit:
Notes:

simply StorPoint CD.
❏ The Basic versions of the StorPoint CD do not support hard disk caching,
writing to recordable discs or organizing discs into folders. Thus, all
information in this document relating to these functions does not apply to
the Basic versions.
