Warranty and any other agreement included with or relating to Rimage products, this
Warranty shall govern. If any term of this Warranty is illegal or unenforceable, the
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions are not affected or impaired.
This Warranty is to be interpreted under the laws of the State of Minnesota, without
giving effect to conflict of law rules.

Rimage must receive written notice of any claimed defect or failure to perform within
five (5) days after such failure or defect is first observed. For warranty service, call
Rimage at [phone]. For Europe, call [phone].

The Limited Warranty set forth above is Rimage's only Warranty in connection with
the Desktop family of products. All other Warranties, whether written or oral, express
or implied, contractual or statutory, including, but not limited to any Warranties of
merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose are specifically excluded and
disclaimed. In no event shall Rimage's liability under this Warranty exceed the
obligation to repair or replace, at Rimage's discretion, a Warranted product, and,
without limiting the foregoing, Rimage's liability under this Warranty shall not exceed
the cost of the covered product.

Chapter 2 – Installation

Setup Computer

If a Rimage Control Center (PC) came with your system, the software is already
installed. Go to the “Desktop 4500 Setup” section on page 10. If the system did not
come with a computer, the following procedures describe how to configure a computer
for the Desktop 4500 autoloader. The computer must meet certain specifications in
order to handle two to four recorders and the printing process. Refer to the “Computer

Specifications” on page 57.

Install Computer Hardware

If you are not familiar with installing adaptor cards or hard drives in a computer,
request help from your company’s network administrator.

1. Power off the computer power.

2. Remove the computer’s cover.

3. Install the IEEE 1394 (Firewire) host adapter card in one of the card slots, unless
your computer has one included.

4. If using the recommended computer specifications on page 57, install the
recommended SCSI Hard drive Controller in one of the card slots.

5. Install the recommended hard drives.

6. Connect all hard drives to the appropriate hard drive controller.

A hard drive is recommended for every two recorders. Tremendously improves
performance when recording each disc as a unique disc image. Disabling the
power management features to prevent underrun errors is recommended.

7. Format the cache hard drives as a Basic Disk with NTFS file system. Refer to
Windows online help, or get help from your network administrator. Do NOT
install the Rimage software until instructed!
