Before Use

In order to use the CRW2200 drive, your computer system will need to meet the

following requirements.

Note

The CRW2200 drive may not write at the maximum speed depending on your computer’s system

configuration.

PC/AT-Compatible Computer

CPU: Pentium II-class or higher, 300MHz or faster.

RAM:32MB memory (64MB or more recommended).

Note

If you are using Windows 2000 Professional operating system, you need 64MB memory or more.

A vacant 5.25-inch drive bay slot (For supplemental drive).

These are also required for SCSI connection.

• A spare PCI expansion slot for a SCSI card (if one hasn’t been installed yet).

• A PCI bus SCSI card (Ultra SCSI compatible with an internal SCSI connector, such

as Adaptec’s AHA-2940 series recommended).

About SCSI cards

SCSI is a hardware interface that allows for the connection of peripheral devices to the computer.

To use a computer without a SCSI connection, insert a SCSI card into the appropriate PCI slot on your

computer. For information on how to install the SCSI card, refer to the documentation that came with it.

Operating System (OS)

Windows 95 (OSR2 or later), Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows

Me, Windows NT4.0 with Service Pack 3 or later, Windows 2000 Professional

CD Writing Software

The CRW2200 drive requires CD writing software to write onto a CD-R/RW disc.

When you use the CD writing software, make sure that it supports the CRW2200 drive.

Note

For details about how to install and use the software, refer to the documentation that came with it.

Hard Drive Space

When writing to a CD-R/RW disc, you will need a working area (50 to 100MB free

space) on the hard drive. If you want to create an image file containing all the data to

be written to the CD-R/RW disc, in addition to the working area, you will need as

much hard drive space as that data (up to 900MB in total). However, this additional

hard drive space for the image file is not needed when you are writing directly from a

hard drive or CD-ROM drive, etc. (on-the-fly writing).

About disk image files

You can collect data files into a single disk image file for a CD-R/RW disc. Also, note that an

image file is useful when writing multiple discs with the same content. For further details, refer to

the documentation that came with your CD writing software.
