I have an issue with the Linux based computer which belongs to Hitachi MRI Medical Equipment. We replaced the MOD drive (not CD or DVD) which was used to read MOD disks. After replacing the Drive I am not getting any response from the OS. I wanted to know how to check whether new MOD drive is operational in the Linux based system. I believe it will be mounted similar to a CDROM or DVD.

The Linux running in the computer is kind of some secure console but I can access to terminal while booting. I don't know whether I have root access or not.

Any ideas will be appreciated.

    That sounds like equipment which isn't really intended for DIY maintenance and which is not unlikely to only work with certified OEM replacement parts. I assume the operator manual has a section on running self-diagnostics, but you should probably contact the vendor or a certified technician...

Your Linux based system will almost certainly be locked down tight to prevent misconfiguations and given that this is a medical device you should not expect to be able to throw just any hardware at it.

Your system will almost certainly have a support contract, you should ask the vendor which MOD Drives are compatible with their system and work with them to get where you want to go.
