Installation and user’s guide This section provides the product description, installation instructions, and instructions for using and maintaining the IBM 48X/32X/48X 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.
Software description The User’s Guide and Software CD contains the following software: v IBM RecordNow: With RecordNow, you can record your own CDs in a variety of ways. You can use the CD copier function to make backup copies of your CDs, or you can make data CDs from files on your hard disk drive. You can create audio CDs from MP3 files or from other audio CDs. RecordNow can also create disk images on your hard drive and record previously created disc images to CD.
v Keep the CD-RW drive in its antistatic bag until you are ready to install the drive in your computer. Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity buildup. v Do not force insertion of the power cable. Doing so might damage the connector or the drive. Product views The following sections illustrate the front and back views of the CD-RW drive.
Installing the Drive To install the drive into your computer, do the following: Step 1. Opening the computer To 1. 2. 3. open your computer, do the following: Turn off the computer and all attached devices. Unplug the power cords for the computer and all attached devices.

one pair of pins corresponding to the setting you chose in Step 3. v If you are configuring the drive as master, set the jumper to the master 1 device setting. (This is how the drive is set when it is shipped.) If there is a second device on the IDE port, check that the device is configured as slave. v If you are configuring the drive as slave, set the jumper to the slave 2 device setting. Check that the other device on the IDE port is configured as master (or master-with-slave-present).
Step 6. Attaching the cables to the drive Connect the cables to the CD-RW drive as follows: 1. If you want to connect the CD-RW drive to your sound adapter or to the sound function on your system board, locate the included audio cables and determine which cable best fits the CD audio-in port on your sound adapter. Connect one end of the selected audio cable to the CD-RW drive audio-out connector 1 , and the other end of the cable to your sound adapter CD audio-in port.
To see the configuration information for most IBM computers, press F1 during startup when the IBM graphic displays in the upper right corner of the screen. When you have finished reviewing the information, save the changes and exit. Step 9.
4. CD-RW media is also rated by write-speed. The IBM 48X/32X/48X Max CD-RW drive supports writing only CD-RW discs rated at 4x or higher. The maximum write speed will be printed on the media packaging or the disc itself. 5.
v Do not place the CD in direct sunlight. v Do not use commercial cleaners to clean the CD. v Do not bend the CD.

If you are using a third party bus-master driver, check with the driver manufacturer to ensure it supports CD-RW drives.
3. If you can read from a CD-RW disc in the CD-RW drive, but not in another optical drive, be sure that a UDF Reader program is installed on the computer that contains the other optical drive. For more information on the UDF Reader program, see “Using the UDF Reader” on page 11. 4. Verify that you are not attempting to write the disc under extreme environmental conditions such as the following: v low temperature: 5° C (41° F) or below v high temperature: 45° C (113 °F) or above v excessive shock: >0.
2. The CD might be defective; try another CD. 3. The CD is not ISO-9660 or High Sierra Group-compatible. Check with your place of purchase. There is no sound from the CD. Take the following actions: 1. Check that you are using an audio CD and not a data CD. 2. Adjust the sound-adapter volume control. See the documentation that comes with your sound adapter and audio-CD player program. 3.
Appendix C. Customizing the device-driver configuration settings Windows XP and Window Me have two device-driver configuration parameters: Auto Insert Notify and DMA. The Auto Insert Notify parameter enables the computer to start audio CD software as soon as a CD is inserted into the CD-RW drive. The DMA parameter improves computer performance by having the computer DMA controller handle data transfers from the CD to memory, freeing the computer microprocessor to perform more important tasks.
Enabling DMA for Windows 2000 Professional To change the parameter setting for Windows 2000, do the following: 1. Click Start → Settings → Control Panel. 2. Double-click System. 3. Click the Hardware tab. 4. Click Device Manager. 5. Click the IDE ATA/ATAPI controller to expand the tree. 6. Click the device that corresponds to the controller where your CD-RW Drive is located (Primary IDE or Secondary IDE). 7. Click the Advanced Settings tab. 8. Click Transfer Mode, and select DMA if it is available. 9.
