Introduction
This User’s Guide provides you with information on how to install and
operate your CDR4210 recordable drive.
The CDR4210 recordable drive has:
❑ Double-speed data recording and quad-speed data reading
capability.
❑ a Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) — the newest data
transfer format and standard. SCSI allows you to daisy chain
your drive to seven other SCSI devices through a single
connection.
❑ Orange Book (Part 2) format compliance. Thus, your drive
supports both track at once and multisession modes.
❑ Write, read, and play functions for various CD formats such as
CD-Audio, CD-I, CD-Plus, CD-ROM, CD-ROM/XA, and
Photo CD.
❑ The assurance of compatibility with Creative’s earlier CD-R
drive and other drives that comply and supports the same CD
formats.
Before You Begin
Before you set up your SCSI CD-R drive, please read the following
sections carefully:
❑ Recording Model and Serial Numbers
❑ Checking System Requirements
Recording Model and Serial Numbers
Your CD-R drive has been assigned a model number and a serial
number. After you have removed the drive from its packaging, write
down its model number and serial number in Table C-1 on page C-1
of this manual.
The model number and serial numbers are printed on a sticker on the
drive.
