Introduction

The CRX160E offer the following features.

❑An internal CD-R/RW drive with ATAPI interface for PCs.

❑Writes up to 12×speed on CD-R disc media.

❑Writes up to 8×speed on CD-RW disc media.

❑Reads CD-ROM discs at up to 32×speed.

System Requirements

The CRX160E can be used in systems with the following capabilities.

❑CPU: Pentium 100 MHz or higher

For stable writing performance at high speeds, the CPU speed

should be considerably higher than the above minimum

requirement. For writing at 12×speed, a Pentium II/400 MHz or

higher is recommended.

❑PC/AT-compatible PC

❑Windows®95, Windows®98, Windows NT®or Windows®2000

operating system

❑At least 32 MB RAM

❑At least 50 MB available hard disk space

❑One available ATAPI interface connection (primary slave, or

secondary master or slave)

❑One empty 5-inch half-height drive bay

❑One available internal +12 V/+5 V power connector

❑In addition to the above requirements, the requirements of the

writing software to be used must also be met.

CAUTION

• The above system configuration is given as a minimum requirement for a system on

which basic CD-R and CD-RW writing performance can be obtained. In actual use, the

requirements for the writing software also have to be taken into consideration.

(Normally, these requirements will be higher than the above specifications.)

• The drive cannot be assured to operate properly if connected to an ATAPI interface

adapter card (we cannot guarantee compatibility or offer user support).
