Storage devices
The platform is equipped with an IDE hard drive and a CD-RW drive,
which is used for software installation and backups.
A portion of the hard disk is reserved for the storage of nonspeech
data, such as data for the Linux operating system, the Message Networking system
platform executables and data, and the Message Networking system software executables.
This disk area is important for proper Message Networking system operations and
