Part 1: Installation and usage guide
This part of the manual consists of an introduction, installation instructions, and
instructions for using and maintaining the CD-RW drive.
Introduction
This section will give you a description of this option and the software which comes
with it, as well as some information you will need before you install the option.
Product description
The IBM can write and read CD-RW (CD-ReWritable) and CD-R (CD-Recordable)
discs, and can read mass-produced stamped CDs. As a result, CDs created by this
drive are compatible with MR (Multi-Read) CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives that can
read CD-RW discs and other media types, and with older non-MR CD-ROM drives
that can read only CD-R and CD-ROM discs.
The drive writes to CD-RW and CD-R discs at different speeds. The drive can write
to a CD-RW disc at up to four times the standard CD-ROM speed, recording data at
up to 1200 KB1 per second. At this rate, the drive can record approximately 650 MB2
of information on a CD-RW disc in about 18 minutes. The drive can write to a CD-R
disc at up to eight times the standard CD-ROM speed, recording data at up to 2400
KB per second. At this rate, the drive can record approximately 650 MB of
information on a CD-R disc in about nine minutes. The drive can also read data at up
to 32 times the standard CD-ROM speed, or 9600 KB per second.
Note: To use the drive’s CD-recording function, you must install the Easy CD
Creator/DirectCD software (included) for Microsoft Windows 98, Windows
95, or Windows NT 4.0. For more information on the Easy CD
Creator/DirectCD software, see “Software description” on page 1-2.
The IBM can be installed only in a computer that uses the integrated drive electronics
(IDE) or the enhanced IDE architecture.
In addition to this book, the option kit includes:
 CD-RW drive
Two audio cables
Four mounting screws (M3 x 5 mm, slotted)
 IDE cable
Two faceplates3 for use with certain systems
1KB equals approximately 1024 bytes when referring to data transfer speeds.
2MB equals approximately 1000000 bytes when referring to storage capacity.
3If you purchased the black option kit, you will receive one black faceplate.

Software description
The Adaptec Easy CD Creator/DirectCD CD contains programs that work with
Windows 98, Windows 95, Windows 2000, and Windows NT Workstation 4.0. You
can use the programs with your CD-RW drive to create audio and data CDs, to copy
CDs, and to make jewel case inserts or CD labels. This manual will give you basic
instructions on using the software so that you can get started creating CDs. Additional
information about the software and how to use it can be found in the online user’s
guide on the software disc.
The IBM Option Diskette contains device drivers for Windows 98, Windows 95,
Windows NT 4.0, Windows 3.x, OS/2, and DOS that enable you to access the drive
as a CD-ROM drive in DOS mode. The diskette also includes an audio CD-player
program for DOS and a diagnostic program.
Note: The software included in this option kit does not enable the drive’s
CD-recording capabilities with DOS, Windows 3.x, or OS/2 operating systems.
Before you begin
Read the following information before you start your installation.
You must complete the following steps to install the drive:
1. Determine which IDE port to use and the corresponding configuration setting.
2. Place or change the configuration jumper on the drive (and possibly make
changes to the configuration jumpers of other devices).
3. Install the drive in a drive bay.
4. Configure the system.
5. Install a device driver.
If you do not understand these procedures or are unsure about your ability to perform
all the procedures described, have a qualified computer technician install the CD-RW
drive for you.
