Before you begin

Before you install the DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive, read the information in the following 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 DVD-RAM/DVD-R 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.

Drive controls and connectors

The following diagrams show the location and functions of the drive controls and connectors.

5Power connector

This connects the DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive to the power cable.

Installing the drive

Follow these steps to install the DVD-RAM/DVD-R 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 2 seconds. This drains the static electricity from the package and your body.

2. Remove the drive from the bag.

Installation and user’s guide 1-5

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

Step 3. Setting the configuration jumpers

You can configure your drive as master 1, slave 2, or cable-select 3,by placing the jumper over the configuration pins as shown.

Use the following guidelines to determine the correct configuration for your DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive:

v Configure the DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive as a master if it will be the only

device that is connected to the IDE cable. This is the preset configuration.

v Configure the DVD-RAM/DVD-R 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.

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 jumper 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, regardless of whether the DVD-RAM/DVD-R 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.

1-6 IBM DVD-RAM/DVD-R Drive: User’s Guide

Step 4. Mounting the drive in the bay

Attention: Be sure to use the M3 x 5-mm 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-RAM/DVD-R 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-RAM/DVD-R 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.

The following is an illustration of the internal audio cable that comes with your option package.

Installation and user’s guide 1-7

Note: Some computers have a smaller connector that is incompatible with the

included internal audio cable. If your computer has this kind of connector, you must purchase a new audio cable.

1. Connect the single-connector end 4of the included interal audio cable to the appropriate connector on the computer system board.

2. Connect one of the dual-connector ends 1of the included internal audio cable to the audio-out connector on the DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive. If you have another optical drive in your computer, you can connect the other dual-connector end to that drive.

3. 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 or if there is only one device connector on the computer IDE cable. 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.

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 (such as hard disk drives) to the cable that is connected to the primary IDE port, and connect the DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive or other slower devices (such as CD-ROM drives, tape drives, and diskette drives) to the cable that is connected to the secondary IDE port.

4. Attach a four-pin power cable 3to the power connector on the DVD-RAM/DVD-R 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-RAM/DVD-R 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.

3. Reinstall the computer cover.

4. Reconnect all external devices.

5. Plug all power cords into the electrical outlets.

Step 7. Installing the software

All of the software for the drive is contained on the User’s Guide and Software CD. To install the software, follow this procedure:

emergency eject hole on the front of the drive (see ″Front view of the drive″ on page 1-3). Push the paper clip until the tray opens. Gently pull out the tray until you can remove the disc.

Using the DVD Player software

This section describes how to use and customize the DVD Player software. You can find current information on DVD Player software in the README file on the User’s Guide and Software CD.

Before using the software

DVMatics requires a compatible video dvice driver and IDE bus mastering in order to work. See “Appendix C. Customizing the device-driver configuration settings” on page C-1 for information on enabling DMA bus mastering and for locating video device drivers.

Using the DVD Player

When you insert a DVD video disc into the DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive, the DVD Player software will automatically load and begin to play the video disc. If the DVD disc contains both video and the program content will automatically play. To view the video content of a video/program DVD disc, open the DVD player from the Start menu, and click Play on the graphical user interface (GUI).

Changing the DVD region code

Regionalization and Copy Protection (the DVD region code) uses the content scrambling system (CSS) standard to prevent unauthorized duplication of the intellectual property that is distributed on DVDs. It was originally requested by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) to address video piracy, but is applicable to any content. CSS works by inhibiting the transmission of unencrypted data without proper authorization. Playback systems must license CSS to decode the encrypted data.

The CSS specification divides the world into seven regions. Content that is encrypted for one region cannot be read by playback systems for other regions. While CSS is used to prevent digital copying of the DVD content, the Macrovision standard prevents analog copying of the DVD content. The Macrovision standard is a scrambling system that has been widely used by the movie industry to prevent unauthorized duplication of video content using commercial VCRs. DVD playback systems must support both CSS and Macrovision copy protection standards.

The first time that you insert a DVD video disc into the DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive, you will be prompted to set the region. If you want to play DVDs that

1-12 IBM DVD-RAM/DVD-R Drive: User’s Guide

are encrypted for a different region of the world, you can use the DVD Player software to change the region code in your DVD drive.

Note: You can change the DVD region code only five times. After you make

five region code changes, the drive can play only DVDs that are encrypted for the fifth region code that you set.

To change the region code, do the following:

1. Turn on your computer, and start your operating system.

2. Click Start.

3. Select Programs.

4. Click DVD Player.

5. Click the Properties icon to open the Properties window.

6. Click the General Properties tab.

7. Select the correct region code for your country.

8. Click OK so that the change takes effect.

Using Drive Letter Access (DLA)

Using the information in this section, you might be able to solve problems yourself or gather helpful information that you can pass on to a service technician. You might also need to refer to your computer, operating system, or audio-adapter documentation.

Review the following list for any problem description that might fit your situation.

v Your computer or DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive does not operate correctly, or

the Busy indicator light does not come on.

Take the following actions:

1. Check that the disc is loaded with the label side up.

2. Check that all devices are properly connected to the computer and to the

electrical outlet.

3. Turn off the computer, unplug the cables for your computer and all attached devices, and remove the computer cover.

4. Check that all power and IDE cables are securely attached. Disconnect the IDE cable and check for bent or misaligned pins. If you do not find any problems, reconnect the interface cable. Replace the computer cover, and reattach all cables and power cords. Turn on the computer, restart the operating system, and attempt to open the loading tray by pressing the Open/Close button. If the tray fails to open and the Busy indicator does not light, turn off the computer and try using another 4-pin dc power cable.

5. Check that the color-coded edge on the IDE cable aligns with pin 1 on the IDE port and is closest to the power cable on the DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive. See “Step 5. Attaching the cables to the drive” on page 1-7.

6. Check the DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive and any other device on the IDE cable for the proper settings. See “Step 3. Setting the configuration jumpers” on page 1-6.

7. If the middle connector on the IDE cable is attached to the IDE port on the system board, remove the connector and reattach the cable. If there is only one device on the IDE port, attach the connector at one end of the cable to the IDE port and the connector at the other end to the device, leaving the middle connector (if there is one) open.

If there are two devices on the IDE port, attach the connector at one end of the cable to the IDE port. If there is a hard disk drive, attach it to the connector at the other end of the cable, and attach the DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive to the middle connector.

v You cannot access the DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive, or the DVD-RAM

(CD-ROM) icon is not displayed.

When the DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive is properly installed, a DVD-RAM or CD-ROM icon is displayed in the My Computer window. Double-click My Computer. If a CD-ROM icon is not present in the window that opens, verify that the drive has been properly installed. Verify that the configuration jumper is set properly. See “Step 3.

or the drive performs erratically.

Some computers have Compatible and High Performance modes for mass storage devices. Typically, the DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive functions better in the High Performance mode. However, if your drive is not functioning properly in that mode, you might need to use the Compatible mode.

To check the configuration-setup information for your computer, do the following:

1. Start your configuration utility program.

2. Select Devices.

3. Scroll down to the Mass Storage Devices section.

See the documentation that comes with your computer for additional details on selecting IDE performance modes.

v The computer does not recognize the DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive after the

device drivers are loaded.

B-2 IBM DVD-RAM/DVD-R Drive: User’s Guide

Check for incompatibilities among the DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive device driver and other device drivers or other hardware in your computer. Create a system diskette with minimum CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT system files.

1. Before creating special CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files, make a backup copy of these files in a convenient directory. From a DOS prompt, do the following:

a. Type copy CONFIG.SYS CONFIG.IBM and press Enter. b. Type copy AUTOEXEC.BAT AUTOEXEC.IBM and press Enter.

2. Insert a blank, formatted diskette into the diskette drive.

3. Copy the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files onto the diskette.

4. Turn off the computer, and ensure that the system diskette (the diskette

that you created) is in the diskette drive.

5. Restart the computer (the computer starts up from the system diskette).

6. Observe the startup messages, and ensure that the device driver

IBMIDECD.SYS loads. When MSCDEX loads, observe the drive letter that the computer assigns to the DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive.

7. Insert a data CD into the loading tray; then wait until the Busy indicator is not lit.

8. Attempt to read the disc by typing dir e:,wheree is the DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive letter assigned after the MSCDEX message.

– If the computer is able to read the disc, a conflict probably exists

among the device drivers that are loaded by the CONFIG.SYS or AUTOXEC.BAT file. You need to resolve this device conflict. Refer to the documentation that comes with your computer for more information on resolving device conflicts.

– If you are unable to access the disc, you might have a hardware

problem. If you are unable to read the disc or a drive letter is not assigned by MSCDEX, go to the next step.

9. Turn off the computer, unplug the cables for your computer and all attached devices from the electrical outlets, and remove the computer cover.

10. Disconnect the IDE and power cables for all IDE devices except the DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive.

11. Configure the DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive as a master, and connect it to the last IDE connector on the primary IDE port.

12. Reinstall the computer cover. Reconnect the keyboard; plug the power cords into electrical outlets.

13. Insert the system diskette into the diskette drive, and insert a data disc into the DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive.

14. Restart the computer.

Appendix B. Solving problems B-3

15. Attempt to read the disc by typing dir C: (the DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive is drive C because it is the only device that is connected to the IDE port).

– If the computer is able to read the disc, a conflict probably exists

with one of the devices that are installed on your computer. You need to resolve this device-driver conflict. Check the configuration jumper settings for the other devices or refer to your device documentation.

– If you are unable to access the disc, you might have a hardware

problem. If the DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive still does not read the data disc, the DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive might be defective. See “Appendix D. Help and service information” on page D-1.

v The disc cannot be read.

Take the following actions:

1. The disc might be dirty; clean it as described in “CaringforaCDor

DVD” on page 1-15.

2. The disc might be defective; try another disc.

3. The disc is not ISO-9660, High Sierra Group (HSG), or Universal Disc

Format (UDS) compatible. Check with your place of purchase.

v There is no sound from the disc.

1. Verify that you are not using a data CD.

2. Adjust the audio-adapter volume control. See the documentation that

comes with your audio adapter and audio-CD player program.

3. Turn off the computer, unplug the cables from the electrical outlets for

your computer and all attached devices, and remove the computer cover. Ensure that the audio-signal cable connects the DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive with the sound adapter.

v You receive a common error message.

Take the following actions for these common error messages:

– CDR-103

The disc in the DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive is not High Sierra, ISO 9660, or UDF format. The DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive does not support the media.

– CDR-101

The ″not ready reading the drive″ situation occurs if you try to access the DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive before the drive is ready. The Busy indicator lights when you attempt to access the drive after inserting a disc into the loading tray. Wait until the Busy indicator is no longer lit before attempting to access the drive.

v The connectors on the audio cables that are provided do not fit the

connector on your audio adapter.

Some audio adapters might require a special cable. See the documentation that comes with your audio adapter.

B-4 IBM DVD-RAM/DVD-R Drive: User’s Guide

You might have to separately purchase an audio cable for the DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive. If you are using an IBM computer or IBM audio adapter, refer to “Appendix D. Help and service information” on page D-1.

v The DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive does not operate and will not allow the disc

to eject.

Turn off the computer and straighten a large paper clip to form a tool. The straightened end must extend at least 45 mm (1.8 in.). Insert the extended end into the emergency eject hole on the front of the drive (see ″Front view of the drive″ on page 1-3). Push the paper clip until the tray opens. Gently pull out the tray until you can remove the disc.

Appendix C. Customizing the device-driver configuration settings

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

The Auto Insert Notify parameter enables the computer to start playing or accessing the disc automatically after being inserted in the drive. The DMA parameter improves the computer performance by having the computer DMA controller handle data transfers from the CD to memory, freeing the microprocessor to perform other tasks. For example, activating DMA might make movies and games run more smoothly because the microprocessor is allocating more processing time to video.

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

To change the Auto Insert Notify and DMA parameters in Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Me, do the following:

1. Click Start → Settings → Control Panel.

2. Double-click System.

3. Click the Device Manager tab.

4. Double-click CD-ROM.

5. Select the device driver for the CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination Drive.

6. Click Properties.

7. Click the Settings tab.

8. Click to select or to clear the Auto Insert Notification check box and the

DMA check box, depending on which parameters you want to enable or disable.

9. Click OK.

Enabling DMA for Windows 2000 Professional

To change the parameter settings for Windows 2000 Professional, do the following:

1. Click Start → Settings → Control Panel.

2. Double-click System.

3. Click the Hardware tab.

4. Click the Device Manager button.

5. Click the IDE ATA/ATAPI controller to expand the tree.

6. Click the device that corresponds to the controller where your DVD-RAM

is located (Primary IDE or Secondary IDE).

7. Click the Advanced Settings tab.

8. Click Transfer Mode, and select DMA if it is 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 your computer.

Enabling DMA for Windows NT 4.0

Enabling DMA for Windows NT 4.0 requires a DMA bus master IDE controller device driver. This might have been preinstalled, or you might have to install it. To determine whether the device driver is installed, do the following:

1. Log on as an Administrator.

2. Click Start → Settings → Control Panel.

3. Double-click Devices.

4. Select the ATAPI device.

5. If the status is listed as Started, you do not have a DMA bus master IDE

controller device driver installed. If you do not have a DMA bus master IDE controller device driver

installed, go to the Web site for the manufacturer of your computer system board, and download and install the Windows NT 4.0 DMA device driver. The instructions for installing the device driver are provided on the manufacturer’s Web site.

Machine - IBM DVD-RAM/DVD-R 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

Z125-4753-06 8/2000

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.

E-2 IBM DVD-RAM/DVD-R Drive: User’s Guide

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 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.
