These pins are used to set the drive configuration.

.4/ IDE connector

This port connects the CD-RW drive to the IDE cable.

.5/ DC-power connector

This port connects the CD-RW drive to the computer power supply cord.

Installing the drive

Follow these steps to install the CD-RW drive into your computer.

Step 1. Opening the computer

1. Turn off the computer and all attached devices.

2. Unplug the power cords for the computer and all attached devices.

3. Remove the cover from the computer.

Step 2. Unpacking the drive

1. Before opening the antistatic bag that the drive is packed in, touch it to an unpainted metal surface for at least two seconds. This drains the static electricity from the package and your body.

2. Remove the drive from the bag. If you must put the drive down, place the antistatic bag on a flat padded surface,

such as a magazine, and place the drive on the antistatic bag.

Step 3. Selecting an IDE port

Newer computers typically have two IDE ports, each of which can support two devices. Typically, the IDE port connected to your hard disk drive is the primary IDE port. The other IDE port is the secondary port. The IDE port and the cable position that you select determine which configuration jumper setting you use for the drive.

 If you have two IDE ports, connect the CD-RW drive to the secondary IDE port

on your system board or IDE adapter. If the CD-RW drive is the only device on the secondary IDE port, use the master configuration setting. If the CD-RW drive is the second device on the secondary port, use the subordinate (or slave) configuration setting.

 If you must attach the CD-RW drive to the primary IDE port (the same port as a

hard disk drive or other fast device), use the subordinate setting for the CD-RW drive and the master setting for the faster device. In some instances, you might need to change the hard disk drive configuration setting to master-with-subordinate-present when attaching a subordinate device on the same cable. For further information on setting configuration jumpers on other devices,

Part 1: Installation and usage guide 1-5

refer to the documentation that comes with your computer or with the device in question.

 Some non-IBM computers support the cable-select setting, where the position of

the device on the cable determines whether a device is master or subordinate. See the documentation that comes with your computer to determine if your computer supports this setting.

Step 4. Setting the configuration jumper

The illustration shows the master .1/ setting, the subordinate (or slave) .2/ setting, and the cable-select .3/ setting. Configure the CD-RW drive by placing the jumper over the set of pins corresponding to the setting you chose in “Step 3. Selecting an IDE port.”

 If you are configuring the CD-RW drive as master, set the jumper to the master

.1/ device setting. (This is how the drive is set when it is shipped.) If there is a second device on the IDE port, make sure that device is configured as subordinate.

 If you are configuring the CD-RW drive as subordinate, set the jumper to the

subordinate .2/ device setting. Make sure that the other device on the IDE port is configured as master (or master-with-subordinate-present).

 If you are configuring the CD-RW drive as cable-select, set the jumper to the

cable-select .3/ device setting. If there is another device on the IDE port, make sure that the second device is also configured for cable-select.

Step 5. Mounting the drive in the bay

Attention: Be sure to use the M3 x 5 mm mounting screws in the option

package. Using screws that are too long might damage the drive.

You can mount the CD-RW drive horizontally or vertically in the computer. If you mount the drive vertically, you must secure any CDs you place into the drive before the drive tray is closed, or the CD-RW drive will not be able to read the CD properly. For further instructions on securing your CDs in a vertically mounted drive, go to page 1-12.

1-6 IBM 4X/8X/32X CD-ReWritable Internal IDE Option Kit

1. Slide the drive into the bay. Your computer might have specific required procedures for installing storage devices. Refer to the documentation that comes with your computer for further instructions.

2. Align the drive-bay screw holes with the threaded holes in the drive housing or mounting bracket; then thread the screws in loosely to check their positions. Usually two screws are used on each side.

3. Check to make sure the alignment is correct; then tighten the screws to secure the drive. Do not overtighten.

Step 6. Attaching the cables to the drive

Connect the cables to the CD-RW drive as follows.

1. If you want to connect the CD-RW drive to your sound adapter or to the sound function on your system board, locate the included audio cables and determine which cable best fits the CD audio-in port on your sound adapter. Connect one end of the selected audio cable to the CD-RW drive audio-out connector .1/, and the other end of the cable to your sound adapter CD audio-in port. Save the other cable in case you use a different sound adapter in the future.

2. Attach a 40-pin IDE-cable connector .2/ to the IDE connector on the drive. Align the cable so that the color-coded edge is closest to the power cable connector .3/. Use the IDE cable provided with this option if there is no cable attached to the IDE port or if there is only one device connector on the IDE cable. If you use the included IDE cable, attach one end of the cable to your system board IDE port or to your IDE adapter, and the other end of the IDE cable to the CD-RW drive.

3. Locate one of the available power cords attached to your computer power source. Attach the four-pin power cable .3/ to the CD-RW drive dc power connector.

Part 1: Installation and usage guide 1-7

Step 7. Completing the hardware installation

1. Be sure that the drive is securely mounted and the connectors are firmly attached.

2. Be sure that the cables do not interfere with the computer cover and do not block the power-supply fan blades or air-flow paths.

3. Reinstall the computer cover.

4. Reconnect all devices and check any devices that might have become disconnected, such as the keyboard, mouse, and monitor.

5. Plug all power cords into electrical outlets.

Step 8. Attaching the faceplates

This option package includes two faceplates that conform to the curved design of certain computers. If your computer has a curved design, you can attach one of the included faceplates so that the front of the CD-RW drive matches the exterior cabinet. Choose the faceplate that best fits your computer, and attach it after you have mounted the CD-RW drive in the appropriate bay. Note: Depending on the exterior design of your computer, you may need to attach

the faceplate before placing the cover back on your computer.

Step 9. Updating your computer configuration

After you have completed the hardware installation, restart your computer. Usually, the configuration-setup information screen is displayed. If this screen is not displayed, check your computer documentation for information about accessing the configuration or setup utility program.

To see the configuration information for most IBM computers, press F1 during startup. When you have finished reviewing the information, save the changes and exit.

Note: Some older computers with one IDE port might not display the CD-RW drive information when you review the configuration-setup information. You still can use the CD-RW drive in this situation if you have properly completed the installation.

Step 10. Installing the (optional) DOS device driver

Note: This device driver is not necessary to use the CD-RW drive with most

operating systems. It is only necessary if you plan to use the CD-RW drive as a CD-ROM drive with DOS, or you need to access the CD-RW drive using a DOS prompt. Be sure to see the READ.ME file on the Option Diskette for the latest information about the software on the Option Diskette.

The IBM Option Diskette contains device drivers that allow you to access the CD-RW drive from a DOS prompt.
