Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the 24x10x40 CD-Rewriteable drive. We
are sure that you will enjo y this product in the years to come. The CD­Rewriteable is a high performance IDE interface CD-RW drive, implementing
the ATAPI IDE standard interface with 40X (read), 24x (write) and 10X (re ­write).

The bundled CD-RW mastering software gives you the ability to archive,
distribute or create your own CD’s (CD-ROM/XA), CD Bridge, Multi-session
CD, CD-I, and CD-DA from your computer’s desktop. The CD-Rewritable drive
can automatically recognize the media placed in the drive, whether a CD, a
CD-R or a CD-RW disc. The application included allows you to read and pre ­master CD-R or CD-RW discs, plus file system (drag and drop) for archiving,
data interchange and back up, on both CD-R and CD-RW discs.

User friendliness is further enhanced as the CD-Rewritable can be used as a
PnP (Plug and Play) CD-ROM drive for all PC operating systems, such as
Windows 98, Windows 95, Windows 2000, Windows Me, and Windows NT.
You can use the two quick select buttons to manually control music CDs
without running any software programs. A standard ANSI MMC (multimedia
Command) set is also featured.

The CD-Rewritable drive supporting all writing modes extends operational
versatility and CD formats (CD-DA, CD-ROM etc., include CD-UDF as
standardized by OSTA). Furthermore, the erase function is supported for CD­RW discs allowing repetitive use.

Hardware Installation

Handling Static-Sensitive Devices

The 24x10x40 CD-Rewritable drive, like all electronic equipment, is static
sensitive. Please take the proper precautions when handling the drive. Avoid
touching the IDE connector pins as well as the audio connector pins and the
jumper pins. Keep the drive in its conductive wrapping until you are ready to
install the drive in your computer.

Host Interface Connections

It is recommended that you use separate IDE ports for your hard drive and
your drive. The drive should be connected to a Secondary IDE controller port
as “Master”. This will ensure your hard drive’s performance and speed are
not affected by having the drive on the same cable. Additionally, if you have
a CD-ROM drive or a CD-R drive, you should attach it to the Primary IDE
controller port as a slave drive.

Connect the internal IDE flat cable to the IDE interface card of your host.
Connect the other end to one of the IDE connectors at the rear of the CD­Rewritable drive.

Before You Begin

The following diagram shows you the rear view of your CD-Rewritable drive.
Familiarize yourself with the drive before installing the unit into your
computer. Locate where the drive will be connected first and then make sure
you have all the necessary parts for the connection.

Setting-up the “Mode Select” Jumper

On the rear panel of the CD-Rewritable drive, you will find three pairs of
jumpers, CS (CSEL), SL (Slave) and MA (Master). Use the jumper cap to set
the device to CS, SL or MA mode corresponding to your PC configuration (See
Figure below). The default setting is “Slave” mode. Improper or conflicting
setting, will cause the unit to not be detected by your computer.

Connecting to a Primary IDE Controller

There should be at least one IDE controller (or card) on the PC motherboard.
This IDE controller supports two devices, one for the hard disk (Master), and
the other for the 2nd hard disk or a CD-ROM drive. The hard disk should be
connected to this primary IDE (Master mode) controller, as the PC needs to
use the hard disk to boot up the system (unless you are using a SCSI hard
drive). Make sure the CD Rewritable drive is connected to the Primary IDE
Port as the 2nd device, which is referred to as the “Slave”. Make sure the
Mode Select Jumper is set to the SL (Slave) position in order to be used as
the 2nd device on the Primary IDE Controller.

Connecting a Secondary IDE controller

If the PC is equipped with a 2nd IDE controller (or card) on the motherboard,
each device connected to this controller should be set to either MA (Master)
or SL (Slave) mode. Please set the CD-Rewritable drive to MA (Master)
mode. If there is another device such as a CD-ROM connected to the
secondary IDE controller, make sure it is set to the “Slave” mode. You may
have to change the jumper settings on this CD-ROM. By setting the CD­Rewritable drive to the “Master” position, you will get maximum performance.
