4.0 mm into the side panels or the bottom plate.)

– two mounting rails if your computer has mounting tracks.

●

Unplug the computer and disconnect the cables attached to the back for your own safety. Do not turn on the power of the computer before completing the entire installation process.

Precautions

■ Installation

●

Avoid placing the drive in a location subject to: – high humidity – high temperature – excessive dust – mechanical vibration

– direct sunlight. Use the drive in a horizontal or vertical position. Do not use it in a tilted position.

■ Operation

●

Do not move the drive during operation. This may cause it to

malfunction during reading or writing.

●

Avoid exposing the drive to sudden changes in temperature as

condensation may form on the lens inside the drive as a result. Should

the surrounding temperature suddenly rise while the drive is on, wait at

least one hour before you turn off the power. Operating the drive

immediately after a sudden increase in temperature, may result in a

malfunction during reading or writing.

■ Transportation

●

Keep the original packing materials for future transport of the drive.

●

Remove the caddy before moving the drive and, if you take the drive

out of the computer, repack the drive as you received it.

Example of System Setup

To use the CD-R device, the following components are required:

●

Computer (IBM-PC/AT* compatible)

●

SCSI-Host adapter

●

SCSI-Interface cable (50 to 50 pin flat cable)

●
