First find if there is a SCSI addy available..
lsdev -Cs scsi
from the result this is what is pertinent:
Column 1: device name (hdisk1)
Column 2: device status (Available)
Column 3: SCSI information (00-01-00-1,0)
Column 4: device type (1.0 GB SCSI Disk Drive)

Then Find an available SCSI address for the CD-ROM drive and choose the highest-priority unused address for yours and config the jumper of the CD to match your selections.

As i said I dont know if the E30 has dev.drivers for what u are installing .. if not u will need to run:
smit devinst you can search for devices.scsi.disk.rte
select the driver when u find it.

Remember to shut down completely and restart.
