Before PX-504A Installation How to Install the PX-504A
A Hard disks connected as Master and
Slave devices on primary IDE port;
CD-ROM connected as Master
device on secondary IDE port.
Remove the CD-ROM drive, change
it to Slave, and re-connect it to the
secondary IDE port.
Set the mode jumper to Master, and
connect the PX-504A as Master
device to the secondary IDE port.
NOTE: This configuration can make it very difficult to write from the CD-ROM to
the PX-504A at maximum rated speed using “on-the-fly” copying. System
configuration and performance will make a big difference.
Depending on how fast the CD-ROM drive can stream data to the PX-504A, it
may not be fast enough to keep the buffer full. In this case, the buffer may
become empty and a buffer underrun error may happen. However, because it is
equipped with Buffer Underrun Proof technology, your PX-504A can still make
successful copies if you use software that supports this feature. (All software
shipped with the Plextor PX-504A drive retail kits supports Buffer Underrun
Proof technology.)
If you still have problems writing with this configuration, use the image writing
method (that is, write an image to your hard drive, then write that image onto the
CD-R or CD-RW media), or record at a lower speed for best results. We also
recommend that DMA be enabled on your computer, if your system supports it.
