3)

❑ Operating system:

Windows 2000 Professional 
(referred to as Windows 2000), 
Windows XP Home Edition or 
Windows XP Professional

1)

The above requirements are the minimum 
necessary requirements to write to disc 
normally. Under actual operating conditions, 
the requirements imposed by your software 
must also be met. For details, refer to your 
software documentation.

2)

The drive does not support ATAPI, therefore 
do not connect it to the IDE (ATAPI) interface 
connector of your computer's motherboard.

3)

The drive consumes a lot of power when 
operating at high speeds. You should therefore 
make sure that the rated power output of the 
power outlet where you connect all your drives 
is sufficient to power all the drives, including 
this one. For details about each drive's power 
consumption rating, refer to their 
documentation.
