4Power connector

This connects the DVD-ROM drive to the power cable.

Installing the drive

Follow these steps to install the DVD-ROM drive:

Step 1. Opening the computer

1. Turn off the computer and all attached devices.

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

3. Remove the cover from the computer. Refer to your computer

documentation for instructions on removing the computer cover.

Step 2. Unpacking the drive

1. Before opening the antistatic bag that the drive is packed in, touch the bag

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.

1-4 IBM 16X Max RAM-Read DVD-ROM Drive: User’s Guide

Step 3. Setting the configuration jumpers

You can configure your drive as master 1, slave 2, or cable-select 3,as

shown.

Use the following guidelines to determine the correct configuration for your

DVD-ROM drive.

v Configure the DVD-ROM drive as a master if it will be the only device that

is connected to an IDE cable. This is the preset configuration.

v Configure the DVD-ROM drive as a slave if it will be the second device on

an IDE cable. Be sure to configure the other device as a master. In some cases, a hard disk drive might require a “master with slave present” jumper setting when another device on the same cable is configured as a slave. For more information on setting configuration jumpers on other devices, refer to the documentation that comes with your computer device.

v Some non-IBM computers use special ATA cables with two wires reversed in

the device connectors so that the drives can be configured by the cable instead of by jumper position. Use the cable-select position only for computers that are equipped with these special cables. See the documentation that comes with your computer to determine if your ATA adapter requires that you place the jumpers in the cable-select position.

If you place the jumpers in the cable-select position, the IDE cable automatically assigns the master and slave settings based on the position of the drive on the cable. You must use the cable-select setting for this cabling system whether the DVD-ROM drive is the only device or the second device connected to the cable. The drive closest to the IDE controller is automatically the master drive. Any other devices on the IDE cable must also be set to cable-select.

Installation and user’s guide 1-5

Step 4. Mounting the drive in the bay

Attention: Be sure to use the mounting screws in the option package when you are driving screws directly into the drive. Using screws that are too long might damage the drive.

You can mount the DVD-ROM drive horizontally or vertically in the computer. If you mount the drive vertically, you must secure any discs that you place into the drive before the drive tray is closed, or the DVD-ROM drive will not be able to read the disc properly.

1. Slide the drive into the bay. Your computer might have specific required

procedures for installing storage devices. For more information on storage devices, refer to the documentation that comes with your computer.

2. Align the drive-bay screw holes with the threaded holes in the drive

housing or mounting bracket.

3. Thread the screws in loosely to check their position. Two screws are usually

used on each side. Verify that the alignment is correct; then tighten the screws to secure the drive. Do not overtighten.

Step 5. Attaching the cables to the drive

The following diagram shows where to connect the cables to the drive.

1-6 IBM 16X Max RAM-Read DVD-ROM Drive: User’s Guide

The following is an illustration of the internal audio cable that comes with

your option package.

1. The internal audio cable has a split-connector end and a single-connector

end. Connect one of the split-connector ends 1to the audio-out connector on the DVD-ROM drive. If you have another CD-ROM, CD-RW or DVD-ROM drive, attach the other split-connector end to the audio-out connector on this drive. Attach the single-connector end to your sound card.

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 that is provided with this option if there is no cable attached to the IDE port. The IDE cable can have up to three connectors. For the best signal quality when you are connecting only one device to the IDE cable, connect one end of the cable to the IDE port, and connect the other end of the cable to the device. Do not use the middle connector. Use the IDE cable that is provided with this option if there is no cable attached to the computer IDE port, or if there is only one device connector on the computer IDE cable.

If you are connecting two devices to the IDE cable, connect one end of the cable to the IDE port, and connect the master and slave devices to the remaining connectors on the other end. Many computers have two cables for attaching up to four ATA devices. For best performance, attach fast devices (hard disk drives) to the cable that is connected to the primary IDE port, and connect the DVD-ROM drive or other slower devices (CD-ROM drives, tape drives, removable media) to the cable that is connected to the secondary IDE port.

3. Attach a four-pin power cable 3to the power connector on the DVD-ROM

drive. Be sure that the cables will not be pinched or crowded by the computer

cover and that all other cable and power connections are secure.

Step 6. Completing the hardware installation

1. Be sure that the DVD-ROM drive is securely mounted and that the

connectors are firmly attached.

2. Be sure that the cables do not interfere with the computer cover, and that

they do not block the power-supply fan blades or airflow paths.

Installation and user’s guide 1-7

3. Reinstall the computer cover.

4. Reconnect all external devices.

5. Plug all power cords into the wall outlets.

What to do next

six regions. Specific content can be viewed only in the region where it is

appropriate. For example, the content for Region 1 (U.S. and Canada) can be

viewed only in the U.S. and Canada. You can verify the region code of the

DVD by looking at the region code symbol on the back of the content

packaging.

Region code Region

1 U.S., Canada 2 Europe, Middle East, South Africa, Japan 3 Southeast Asia, Taiwan, Korea 4 Latin America, Australia, New Zealand 5 Former Soviet Union, the rest of Africa, India 6 People’s Republic of China

You will be prompted for the initial region selection. If you insert a DVD with

a different region code than the initial region code, DVD Express will ask if

you want to change the region code setting. You can change the region code

from your initial setting up to four times after setting the initial region code.

After the region code has been changed from its initial setting four times, it is

fixed and can no longer be changed. To change the region code, an encrypted

DVD of the new region must be in the DVD-ROM drive.

Appendix C. Customizing the device-driver configuration settings

Changing the Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, and Windows NT device drivers

Windows 95, Windows 98, and Window Me have two device-driver configuration parameters: Auto Insert Notify and DMA.

The Auto Insert Notify parameter enables the computer to start audio CD software as soon as a CD is inserted into the Slimline drive.

The DMA parameter improves computer performance by having the computer DMA controller handle moving data from the CD to memory, freeing the computer microprocessor to perform more important tasks. For example, activating DMA might make movies and games run more smoothly because the microprocessor will be allocating more processing time to video.

Changing the Auto Insert Notify and DMA parameters for Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows ME

To change these parameter settings from the Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows Me desktop:

1. Click Start --> Settings --> Control Panel.

2. Double-click System.

3. Select Device Manager.

4. Double-click CD-ROM.

5. Click Properties.

6. Select Settings.

7. Click Auto Insert Notification or DMA.

8. Click OK.

Changing the Windows 2000 DMA parameter setting

To change the DMA parameter setting for Windows 2000, do the following:

1. Select Start-->Settings-->Control Panel.

2. Double-click System.

3. Click the Hardware tab.

4. Click Device Manager.

5. Click the IDE ATA/ATAPI controller to open up the tree.

6. Double-click the device that corresponds to your CD-ROM port. It is

either Primary IDE or Secondary IDE.

7. Click the Advanced Settings tab.

8. Select the Transfer Mode pull-down and select DMA if available.

9. Click OK.

10. Click Close to close the System Properties window. A message is

displayed, informing you that the system settings have changed.

11. Click OK to restart the computer.

Enabling DMA for Windows NT 4.0

Enabling DMA for Windows NT 4.0 requires installing a DMA bus master IDE controller driver. This may have been installed at the factory, or you have to install it yourself. To determine if an IDE Bus Mastering driver is installed, follow these steps:

1. Log on as an administrator.

2. Double-click My Computer.

3. Click Start.

4. Select Settings.

5. Click Control Panel.

6. Double-click Devices.

7. Select the ATAPI device.

8. If the status is ’Started’, you do not have a DMA bus master IDE controller

driver installed.

If your computer does not have an DMA bus master IDE controller driver, you must go to the Web site for the manufacturer of the system board in your computer, and download and install the Windows NT 4.0 DMA device driver. The instructions for installing the driver are provided on the manufacturer’s Web site.

Note: Carefully read the instruction that come with your driver. Some versions

of Bus Master drivers do not support CD recordable devices.

The following is a list of manufacturer Web Sites that contain Windows NT 4.0 DMA device drivers for your system boards:

Appendix E. Product warranty and notices

This section contains the warranty period for your product and the IBM Statement of Limited Warranty.

Machine - 16X Max RAM-Read DVD-ROM Drive Warranty period* - One Year

* Contact your place of purchase for warranty service information. Some IBM Machines are eligible for on-site warranty service depending on the country where service is performed.

IBM Statement of Limited Warranty

Part 1 - General Terms

This Statement of Limited Warranty includes Part 1 - General Terms and Part 2

- Country-unique Terms. The terms of Part 2 replace or modify those of Part 1.

The warranties provided by IBM in this Statement of Limited Warranty apply only to Machines you purchase for your use, and not for resale, from IBM or your reseller. The term “Machine” means an IBM machine, its features, conversions, upgrades, elements, or accessories, or any combination of them. The term “Machine” does not include any software programs, whether pre-loaded with the Machine, installed subsequently or otherwise. Unless IBM specifies otherwise, the following warranties apply only in the country where you acquire the Machine. Nothing in this Statement of Limited Warranty affects any statutory rights of consumers that cannot be waived or limited by contract. If you have any questions, contact IBM or your reseller.

The IBM Warranty for Machines

IBM warrants that each Machine 1) is free from defects in materials and workmanship and 2) conforms to IBM’s Official Published Specifications (“Specifications”). The warranty period for a Machine is a specified, fixed period commencing on its Date of Installation. The date on your sales receipt is the Date of Installation unless IBM or your reseller informs you otherwise.

If a Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period, and IBM or your reseller are unable to either 1) make it do so or 2) replace it with one that is at least functionally equivalent, you may return it to your place of purchase and your money will be refunded.

Extent of Warranty

The warranty does not cover the repair or exchange of a Machine resulting from misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical or operating

environment, improper maintenance by you, or failure caused by a product for which IBM is not responsible. The warranty is voided by removal or alteration of Machine or parts identification labels.

THESE WARRANTIES ARE YOUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES AND REPLACE ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THESE WARRANTIES GIVE YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT EVENT, SUCH WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NO WARRANTIES APPLY AFTER THAT PERIOD.

Items Not Covered by Warranty

IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of a Machine.

Any technical or other support provided for a Machine under warranty, such as assistance via telephone with “how-to” questions and those regarding Machine set-up and installation, will be provided WITHOUT WARRANTIES

OF ANY KIND.

Warranty Service

To obtain warranty service for a Machine, contact IBM or your reseller. If you do not register your Machine with IBM, you may be required to present proof of purchase.

During the warranty period, IBM or your reseller, if approved by IBM to provide warranty service, provides without charge certain types of repair and exchange service to keep Machines in, or restore them to, conformance with their Specifications. IBM or your reseller will inform you of the available types of service for a Machine based on its country of installation. At its discretion, IBM or your reseller will 1) either repair or exchange the failing Machine and

2) provide the service either at your location or a service center. IBM or your reseller will also manage and install selected engineering changes that apply to the Machine.

Some parts of IBM Machines are designated as Customer Replaceable Units (called “CRUs”), e.g., keyboards, memory, or hard disk drives. IBM ships CRUs to you for replacement by you. You must return all defective CRUs to IBM within 30 days of your receipt of the replacement CRU. You are responsible for

E-2 IBM 16X Max RAM-Read DVD-ROM Drive: User’s Guide

downloading designated Machine Code and Licensed Internal Code updates from an IBM Internet Web site or from other electronic media, and following the instructions that IBM provides.

When warranty service involves the exchange of a Machine or part, the item IBM or your reseller replaces becomes its property and the replacement becomes yours. You represent that all removed items are genuine and unaltered. The replacement may not be new, but will be in good working order and at least functionally equivalent to the item replaced. The replacement assumes the warranty service status of the replaced item. Many features, conversions, or upgrades involve the removal of parts and their return to IBM. A part that replaces a removed part will assume the warranty service status of the removed part.

Before IBM or your reseller exchanges a Machine or part, you agree to remove all features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not under warranty service.

You also agree to

1. ensure that the Machine is free of any legal obligations or restrictions that

prevent its exchange;

2. obtain authorization from the owner to have IBM or your reseller service a

Machine that you do not own; and

3. where applicable, before service is provided:

a. follow the problem determination, problem analysis, and service request

procedures that IBM or your reseller provides;

b. secure all programs, data, and funds contained in a Machine; c. provide IBM or your reseller with sufficient, free, and safe access to

your facilities to permit them to fulfill their obligations; and

d. inform IBM or your reseller of changes in a Machine’s location.

IBM is responsible for loss of, or damage to, your Machine while it is 1) in IBM’s possession or 2) in transit in those cases where IBM is responsible for the transportation charges.

Neither IBM nor your reseller is responsible for any of your confidential, proprietary or personal information contained in a Machine which you return to IBM or your reseller for any reason. You should remove all such information from the Machine prior to its return.

Limitation of Liability

Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on IBM’spartorother liability, you are entitled to recover damages from IBM. In each such instance, regardless of the basis on which you are entitled to claim damages from IBM (including fundamental breach, negligence, misrepresentation, or other contract

Appendix E. Product warranty and notices E-3

or tort claim), except for any liability that cannot be waived or limited by applicable laws, IBM is liable for no more than

1. damages for bodily injury (including death) and damage to real property

and tangible personal property; and

2. the amount of any other actual direct damages, up to the charges (if

recurring, 12 months’ charges apply) for the Machine that is subject of the claim. For purposes of this item, the term “Machine” includes Machine Code and Licensed Internal Code.

This limit also applies to IBM’s suppliers and your reseller. It is the maximum for which IBM, its suppliers, and your reseller are collectively responsible.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS IBM LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING: 1) THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR DAMAGES (OTHER THAN THOSE UNDER THE FIRST ITEM LISTED ABOVE); 2) LOSS OF, OR DAMAGE TO, YOUR RECORDS OR DATA; OR 3) SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OR FOR ANY ECONOMIC CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS OR LOST SAVINGS, EVEN IF IBM, ITS SUPPLIERS OR YOUR RESELLER IS INFORMED OF THEIR POSSIBILITY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Governing Law

Both you and IBM consent to the application of the laws of the country in which you acquired the Machine to govern, interpret, and enforce all of your and IBM’s rights, duties, and obligations arising from, or relating in any manner to, the subject matter of this Agreement, without regard to conflict of law principles.
