If your computer does not have a CD-ROM drive, see “If your computer does not have a CD-ROM drive:” on page A-1.

2. Click on the Install CD-Writer Plus icon. Follow the instructions on the screen.

3. When the CD-Writer Plus Install Recommendation screen appears, click Print. Or, if you don’t have a printer, copy down the information. You’ll need this information in the next section.

Installing the Hardware

CAUTION: The discharge of static electricity can damage electronic circuitry. You can avoid static discharge by touching a grounded metal object such as your computer’s case before and during installation of hardware inside your computer or by wearing a grounding strap.

1. After getting the Install Recommendation (see previous section) you will be prompted to shutdown Windows and turn OFF your computer, monitor, and other devices.

2. Unplug the power cords from the wall outlet or from the power strip, if you use one. (The power plug and outlet may look different in your country.)

1-4 Installing the Hardware

3. Remove the cover from your computer

CAUTION: Be careful of any sharp edges that may be present inside your computer.

Computer OFF

See your computer’s manual if you need help removing the cover.

7. Insert the drive into the drive bay. Be careful not to dislodge any cables inside your computer as you do this.

WARNING: The drive requires a secure fit. If there is a gap of 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) or more on either side of the drive, you will not be able to secure it. In this case, obtain and attach “rails” from your computer manufacturer before inserting the drive. (You may already have what you need from step 4.)

Use all four screws

8. If there is not much room around the back of the CD-Writer Plus drive, it may be better to wait until after step 13 to complete this step.

Secure the drive into the bay, using the screws included with your drive or any M3x0.5x6mm metric screw.

The screws electrically ground the drive.

1-8 Installing the Hardware

9. Refer to the Install Recommendation Printout (see page 1-2). Find the section labeled WHICH IDE CONTROLLER?

TIP: If the Install Recommendation states that your CD-Writer Plus drive will share the data cable with another device (such as your CD-ROM), simply follow the cable already attached to that device down to the circuit board in order to locate the IDE controller that you need. If you find an extra connector along that cable, in the next step, simply attach the CD-Writer Plus drive to that cable. Go to step 10 now.

Inside your computer, locate the recommended 40-pin IDE controller that will be used by the CD-Writer Plus.

IDE controllers are usually found in pairs and may look like any of the following. DO NOT ATTACH THE CD-WRITER PLUS DRIVE TO A SOUND BOARD’S IDE CONTROLLER:

13. Attaching the audio cable is OPTIONAL. If you do not wish to use it, go to step 14.

The audio cable is used only for hearing music CDs through your computer’s sound system. If you do not have a sound board in your computer, you can still hear music CDs through speakers or earphones attached to the front of the CD-Writer Plus drive.

When the CD-Writer Plus drive records music or data, it uses the data cable, not the audio cable.

Locate your sound board’s audio cable, if any.

NOTE: There are many different types of audio cables and connectors. The type of cable depends on the type of sound board you have. To work with the CDWriter Plus drive, the cable must have an MPC-2 connector. If you need to purchase an audio cable, contact your local computer hardware dealer. You can also contact Pacific InterConnections, USA, at 1-800-706-0510 or at 408-654-

0234. Be sure to identify the type of sound board you have and specify that you require an MPC-2 connector.

Connect your sound board’s audio cable, if any, to the back of the CDWriter.

If You Have Problems

Did you read the Install Recommendation (see page 1-2)?

There are many factors that need to be taken into consideration when installing an IDE device. By reading the install recommendation, you will know how to install successfully without needing to evaluate the technical details such as IRQs and “single” versus “dual” FIFO.

Can’t find the IDE controller in your computer?

Check the manual that came with your computer or call the computer manufacturer for assistance. The IDE controller may be located on the mother board or a daughter board. It may be hard to find because it is behind some other component inside your computer such as the power supply. Or, your computer may not have a connector attached for access to the IDE controller. DO NOT ATTACH THE CD-WRITER PLUS DRIVE TO A SOUND BOARD’S IDE CONTROLLER. Do not use the Colorado IDE Adapter board as an alternate IDE controller for the CD-Writer Plus.

Now your computer won’t boot up!

■ Turn off and unplug your computer. Double-check each connector

along the data cable, look for and straighten any bent pins. The connectors are inserted properly when all pins are covered up and the colored stripe on the side of the data cable lines up with PIN-1 of each connector.

■ Is the power cable attached correctly to each device?

■ If you are sharing the IDE data cable between the CD-Writer Plus

drive and another device, did you change the data-cable (middle/end) connector attached to the device that was already inside your computer? Did you follow the Install Recommendation’s instructions for determining the jumper setting on page 1-6

If you changed the data-cable connector location change it back to the original position. The other device may be jumpered to “cableselect” rather than “Master” or “Slave.” If this is true, the location of the data-cable connector (middle/end) is very important.

The CD-Writer Plus drive doesn’t show up in My Computer or Explorer.

■ If you cannot find the CD-Writer Plus drive in Explorer, Restart your

computer, or shut it down and then turn it on again.

■ Is the CD-Writer Plus drive receiving power? (Test this by opening and

closing the tray by pressing the eject button in the front of the drive.)

■ Turn off and unplug your computer.

Double-check each connector along the data cable. The connectors are inserted properly when all pins are covered up and the colored stripe on the side of the data cable lines up with PIN-1 of each connector.

■ If you are sharing the IDE data cable between the CD-Writer Plus

drive and another device, did you change the data-cable (middle/end) connector attached to the device that was already inside your computer? Did you follow the Install Recommendation Printout’s instructions for determining the jumper setting on page 1-6?

If yes, change the data-cable connector location back to the original position. The other device may be jumpered to “cable-select” rather than “Master” or “Slave.” If this is true, the location of the data-cable connector (middle/end) is very important.

Not sure which drive letter was assigned to the CD-Writer Plus

The CD-Writer Plus drive will have a drive icon just like a CD-ROM drive icon. You can determine which icon is your CD-ROM drive and which icon is your CD-Writer Plus drive by double-clicking on the My

Computer icon, right-clicking on the CD drive’s icon, and selecting Eject. The tray of the selected drive will open.

The device that is sharing the IDE data cable with my CDWriter Plus drive doesn’t show up in Explorer or doesn’t work any more.

■ Turn off and unplug your computer.

■ Make sure that the power cables are securely attached to both devices.

■ If you are sharing the IDE data cable between the CD-Writer Plus

drive and another device, did you change the data-cable (middle/end) connector attached to the device that was already inside your computer?

■ For Sony and Goldstar CD-ROMs try configuring the CD-Writer as

“Master” and the CD-ROM as “Slave”.
