Your drive can read many DVD and CD formats, including DVD Video, Video CD, and audio CD formats. It can also write most CD-RW rewritable and CD-R recordable formats, including high speed CD-R media. You must install the included MPEG-2 decoding software to play DVD Video files, and you must install the included CD recording software to write CD-R and CD-RW discs. The drive also reads multi-session, extended architecture (CD-XA) discs, and Kodak Photo CD. This drive delivers data at up to 40 times the standard CD-ROM drive speed (40X) for CD-ROM and CD-R media. This drive delivers data at up to 16 times the standard DVD-ROM drive speed (16X) for DVD media. This drive can read most DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, and DVD-R media types, and is compliant with the DVD-Multi Player compatibility specification. This drive is designed for installation in a personal computer that uses integrated drive electronics (IDE) or enhanced IDE (EIDE) architecture.

Installation requirements

Be sure that your computer meets the following system requirements before installing the drive:

v Minimum microprocessor:

– Intel – Intel Pentium II 233 MHz for MPEG-2 playback

v Minimum RAM: 32 MB v Windows 2000, Windows Me, Windows XP Home, or Windows XP

Professional operating system

v An available half high drive bay v An available IDE connection v 40 MB available hard drive space v 700 MB available hard drive space for CD copy function v Audio solution supporting 44.1 or 48 kHz sampling rate v Optional stereo speakers v 2X AGP video with overlay support for MPEG-2 playback

Pentium®133 MHz

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.

3IDE connector

This connects the CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination Drive to the IDE cable.

4Power 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.

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 CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination Drive.

v Configure the CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination 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 CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination 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 whether the CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination 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. 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 slave 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 slave 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-slave-present setting when another device on the same cable is configured as a slave. 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 slave. See the documentation that comes with your computer to determine if your system supports this setting.

Step 5. 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.

1-6 IBM 32X/10X/40X/16X MAX CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination Drive: User’s Guide

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 6. Attaching the cables to the drive

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