Installation and user’s guide

This section provides the product description, installation instructions, and instructions for using and maintaining the IBM 40X/12X/40X Max CD-ReWritable (CD-RW) drive.

Introduction

This section describes this option and the software that comes with it. This section also contains some information you will need before you install the option.

Product description

The IBM 40X/12X/40X Max CD-RW drive can write and read CD-RW and CD-Recordable (CD-R) discs, and can read mass-produced stamped CDs. CDs created with this drive are compatible with Multi-Read CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives that can read CD-RW discs and other media, and with older non-MR CD-ROM drives that can read only CD-R and CD-ROM discs.

The drive can write to a CD-R disc at up to 40 times the standard CD-ROM speed, recording data at up to 6000 KB1 per second. At this rate, the drive can record an 80-minute CD-R disc in about four minutes. The drive writes to CD-RW and CD-R discs at different speeds. The drive can write to a high speed CD-RW disc at up to twelve times the standard CD-ROM speed, recording data at up to 1800 KB per second. At this rate, the drive can record an 80-minute CD-RW disc in less than seven and a half minutes. The drive can also read data at up to 40 times the standard CD-ROM speed, or 6000 KB per second.

This drive incorporates Mount Rainier technology. Mount Rainier is an open industry standard created to make CD-RW easier to use. Benefits include background formatting and physical defect management by the drive. For more information, go to www.mt-rainier.org.

The CD-RW drive can be installed only in a computer that uses the integrated drive electronics (IDE) or the enhanced IDE (EIDE) architecture.

In addition to this manual, the option kit includes:

vCD-RW drive
