What Affects System Performance
If yo u r d r iver in st a lla t io n d isk et t e is lo st o r d a m a g ed :

Double-click th e CopyDisk folder an d th en double-click

follow th e in struction s.
What Affects System Performance
How well your com puter fun ction s with th e CD-Writer Plus drive,
particularly h ow fast it writes data to a CD, depen ds on a n um ber of
factors. Som e of th ese factors are listed below.
■
■
■
■
Processor (CPU). Th e type an d speed of your processor greatly affects
th e speed at wh ich your com puter tran sfers data to an d from th e CD-
Writer Plus drive. If th e processor speed is too slow, you m ay h ave to
write at 1x speed.
RAM. Your com puter m ust h ave en ough m em ory available to h an dle
its operatin g system , th e CD-Writer Plus drive’s application s, an d th e
data you are tran sferrin g to an d from CDs. Th e system sh ould n ot
h ave to swap data to an d from th e h ard drive.
Your Hard Drive. Th e speed at wh ich your h ard drive accesses an d
tran sfers data (its access time an d transfer rate) affects perform an ce.
Newer h ard drives, th ose with a storage capacity greater th an 528 MB,
are fast en ough to h an dle th e CD-Writer Plus drive’s 2x write speed.
Parallel Port Type. Th e type of parallel port on your com puter h as a
m ajor in fluen ce in determ in in g th e speed at wh ich your CD-Writer
Plus drive run s. Possible parallel port types are:
■
Stan dard parallel port (SPP) wh ich is som etim es called bi-
direction al or com patible
■
■
En h an ced parallel port (EPP)
Exten ded capabilities port (ECP)
Most PCs sh ipped sin ce Jan uary 1995 con tain support for th e
required h igh -speed EPP an d ECP m odes. System s sh ipped before th is
date m ay on ly support SPP.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
What Affects System Performance
A-3
SPP m ode allows th e CD-Writer Plus drive to run at up to a 2x read
speed an d up to a 1x write speed if th e oth er m in im um system
requirem en ts are m et.
EPP an d ECP m odes allow th e CD-Writer Plus drive to run at up to a
6x read speed an d a 2x write speed if th e oth er m in im um system
requirem en ts are m et.
TIP: Check your computer’s specifications to see which kind of parallel port was
installed. Sometimes a fast ECP/EPP port will be set up as a slow standard
mode port at the factory. Check your computer’s manual to find out how to reset
it to the faster speed. If that doesn’t work you can also install a faster parallel
port.
■
I/ O an d IRQ. Th e IRQ (in terrupt request) an d I/O (in put/output)
ran ge are th e com puter resources used by th e parallel port. Th e CD-
Writer Plus drive requires a parallel port set to:
IRQ 7 with I/O base address 378, or
IRQ 5 with I/O base address 278
Most com puters autom atically assign th ese. But, depen din g on your
con figuration , you m ay run in to con flicts with oth er devices. For
exam ple, an oth er device (such as your soun d card) m ay be assign ed
th e sam e settin gs. If th ere is a con flict, it m ust be corrected before
in stallin g th e drive.
To fin d out wh ich device is in con flict:
In Windows 95/98, righ t-click on th e My Com p u ter icon , select
Prop erties, select th e Device Man ager tab, double-click on th e
com puter icon to see a list of wh ich device is usin g each resource
settin g on your com puter.
