The DVD-RW drive enables you to read digital data which is stored on a data CD or data DVD (CD-R or DVD-R for example).
You can also store digital data on a writeable CD or DVD.

  • BS2000: installing a BS2000 emergency system (administrator or Customer Support)

  • BS2000: updating BS2000 via EMFILE (administrator)

  • BS2000: data transfer between BS2000 systems via EMFILE (customer/administrator)

  • BS2000: creating a BS2000 EMFILE on CD/DVD directly from the BS2000 system (customer/administrator)
