I. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the High-Speed CD-ROM Drive. The CD-ROM Drive
adds multimedia capabilities, such as sound and video, into your system. With it,
you can take advantage of the thousands of CD titles available today for your entertainment, education, and productivity.
One of the features of the CD-ROM Drive is that it is connected by means of the
IDE connector of your computer. This connector is usually used to install the hard
disk to your computer. By using the IDE connection, you avoid the need to use an
interface card.
This User’s Manual explains how to install the CD-ROM Drive and the software to
use your new drive. Installation is quick and easy if you follow the instructions
carefully.
You’ll also learn from this manual how to use your CD-ROM Drive and detect and
solve any problems you might encounter.

II. HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Before you begin to install your CD-ROM Drive, read through at least once the installation process. You’ll find the installation easier and you’ll also be able to know whether
you need to take alternative steps for installing your drive. You might need both a flatblade and a Phillips-head screwdriver to complete the hardware installation.
Removing Your Computer’s Cover
1. Quit any applications you may be running and turn off the power to your computer and peripheral devices, such as your printer.
2. Ground yourself by using a wrist strap. If you do not have one, touch both of
your hands to a safely grounded object or a metal object on your system.
NOTE: Your computer must be plugged into a three-prong grounded socket
if you choose to ground yourself by touching your system.
3. Remove the cover from your computer. Refer to your computer ’s manual for
specific instructions.
II. H/W INST ALLATION
Removing/Setting/Inserting
Setting Your CD-ROM Drive
Set your drive as either the Master or Slave (default) drive by placing the jumper cap
on the desired jumper ➂.
Slave Drive (Default) Master Drive
NOTE: If your computer only allows you to connect a maximum of two devices and you have two hard disks, remove the Slave hard disk — you need the
other IDE connector for your CD-ROM Drive. If you only have one hard disk,
set your CD-ROM Drive as Slave. If your computer has two IDE connectors
and two hard disks installed, either set your CD-ROM Drive as Master on
the secondary IDE connector or remove the Slave hard disk and replace it
with your CD-ROM Drive. Refer to your computer’s manual for your system’ s
configuration and instructions on hardware installation.
Inserting Your CD-ROM Drive into Your Computer
Insert the CD-ROM Drive into one of the free 5.25-inch bays available for disk drives.
NOTE: Do not slide the drive completely into the vacant drive bay . Leave some
space at the rear so that it is easier for you to connect cables to your drive.

CD Audio Cable
Red stripe (IDE Ribbon Cable)
1. Connect an unused power supply cable to the back ➀ of your CD-ROM Drive.
2. Connect the 40-pin IDE ribbon cable to the back ➁ of your CD-ROM Drive.
NOTE: Orient the red stripe on the cable with Pin 1 of the CD-ROM Drive’ s
IDE Interface connector.
3. If you have a sound card, connect the 4-pin CD audio cable to the CD-ROM Drive’ s
Analog Audio line out connector ➃. Otherwise, proceed to the next step.
NOTE: If the pin definitions on your sound card are not the same as that
(see preceding section) on your CD-ROM Drive, check with your dealer for
a compatible cable.
4. If you do not have a sound card, plug earphones, headphones, or powered/selfamplified speakers to the Headphones Jack on your CD-ROM’s front panel (see
CD-ROM DRIVE OPERATION). Set the volume controls of your drive and powered/self-amplified speakers to minimum before starting or restarting your computer . This is to prevent possible damage to the earphones, headphones, or speakers.
Power Supply Cable
NOTE: The Headphones Jack can only be used to listen to audio discs.
Reassembling Your Computer
1. Tuck all cables behind the drives so that they do not protrude above the power
supply unit.
2. Double-check your connections to make sure they are secure.
3. If you removed any drive or other items other than your CD-ROM Drive, put
them back into place and secure them to your computer.
4. Slide your CD-ROM Drive now into place and fasten it to your system with the
screws provided.
5. Replace the cover on your computer and secure it with the screws you removed
earlier .
6. Reconnect the power supply.
You can now go on to install the software.
