To make operation of the DriveRack 260 even more convenient, dbx includes the option of using the DriveRack PC GUI software (DriveWare™) and/or Zone Controllers (sold separately).

16 bit color monitor

64 meg RAM

Windows™ 95 OS R2 or newer - Windows™ NT 4.0 or newer

Note: The COM (communication) port must be consistent. This means that when the GUI is in use, any other software applications that use the RS-232 COM port must be closed. If your computer does not have a physical RS-232 COM connection, there are aftermarket USB to RS-232 adapters and PCMCIA cards which will work. However, not all such peripheral devices are compatible. Please visit www.dbxpro.com for the latest information on compatible peripherals.

INSTALLATION

Insert the included CD ROM into your computer’s CD drive. You can also download the DriveWare software GUI from our website at www.dbxpro.com.

Once the software is downloaded or CD is loaded, double click the DriveWare Setup file.

The application will proceed to ask you where you want the program installed. The default location is advised, but if you do prefer to install the software in a different location, select it here.

CONFIGURATION I

Once the software installation has completed, go into Window’s Device Manager>Ports. Take note of which COM port number your COM port is assigned to (you may need to change DriveWare’s preferences to match this COM port assignment number). Double left click on your COM port from the Device Manager list and set your COM Port’s Properties as shown below:

 

• It is recommended that you now shut down your computer.
