Applications
CD-ROM towers were used to centralize optical media distribution in corporate and institutional networks during the 1990s and early 2000s. This server type connected via Ethernet to client workstations running compatible CD-ROM server software, allowing multiple users simultaneous access to large CD libraries without individual drives. Common in offices, educational facilities, and data centers requiring shared access to reference materials, software, or archives on optical media.
Please note: We may have multiple units of this item in stock. The unit you receive may vary slightly from the one shown in the photos. All units are functionally equivalent and inspected to the same standard.
This Meridian Data CD Net 314/M 14-Bay CD-ROM Tower is being sold AS-IS due to its age. The unit presents well cosmetically — the floor-standing enclosure, front door, and interior drive bays all appear clean with normal shelf wear. The rear panel shows two cooling fans and an IEC 110V power inlet in what appears to be acceptable cosmetic condition. However, because rubber drive belts in CD-ROM mechanisms of this era are prone to degradation over time, we are unable to test or verify the functionality of the drives. The tower is sold strictly as-is with no guarantee of working condition. Please view our full photo set and contact us if you have any questions before purchasing.
