Before you begin
Before you install the CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination Drive, read the
information in this section on handling precautions and on using the drive
controls and connectors.
Handling precautions
Use the following handling precautions to protect your drive:
v Keep the CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination Drive in the antistatic bag until
you are ready to install the drive. Limit your movement when installing;
movement can cause static electricity buildup.
v Handle the drive with care. Dropping or jarring the drive can damage the
components inside the drive housing.
v Do not force insertion of the IDE or power cables. Doing so might damage
the connector or the drive.

4Power connector
This connects the CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination Drive to the power cable.
Installing the drive
Follow these steps to install the CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination 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 8x4x32x8 CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination Drive: User’s Guide
Step 3. Selecting an IDE connector
Newer computers typically have two IDE connectors. If your computer has
two IDE connectors, use the secondary IDE connector to connect the
CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination Drive. Typically the secondary IDE connector
is adjacent to the primary IDE connector that connects to your hard disk drive.
The IDE connector you select and the cable position you select will determine
which configuration jumper setting you will use for the drive.
v If you have two IDE connectors, connect the CD-RW/DVD-ROM
Combination Drive to the secondary IDE connector with the IDE cable that
comes with your drive. If the CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination Drive is the
only device on the secondary IDE connector, you will use the master
configuration setting. If there is another device on the secondary connector
in addition to the CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination Drive, you will use the
subordinate configuration setting.
v If you must attach the CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination Drive to the same
IDE connector as a faster device, such as a hard disk drive, use the
subordinate setting for the CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination Drive and the
master setting for the faster device. In some instances, the hard disk drive
might require a master-with-subordinate-present setting when another
device on the same cable is configured as a subordinate. For further
information on setting configuration jumpers on other devices, refer to the
documentation that came with your computer or with the device in
question.
v 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 system supports this setting.
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 CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination 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
CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination 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 8x4x32x8 CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination 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 1to the audio-out connector
on the CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination 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 adapter.
2. Attach a 40-pin IDE-cable connector 2to 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 connector. 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
connector, 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 connector, 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 connector, and connect the master and subordinate 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 (such as hard disk drives) to the cable that is connected to the
primary IDE connector, and connect the CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination
Drive or other slower devices (such as CD-ROM drives, tape drives, and
removable media) to the cable that is connected to the secondary IDE
connector.
3. Attach a four-pin power cable 3to the power connector on the
CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination 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 CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination 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.
