Precautions
■ Installation
• Avoid placing the drive in a location subject to:
– high humidity
– high temperature
– excessive dust
– mechanical vibration
– direct sunlight
• Do not force the power cable. It is keyed to protect the drive unit.
■ Operation
• Do not move the drive when it is in use. Doing so may cause data
error and damage the optical pick-up.
• Avoid exposing the drive to sudden changes in temperature as
condensation may form on the lens inside the drive unit. Should
the surrounding temperature suddenly rise while the drive unit is
turned on, stop using the drive and leave the power on at least one
hour before operating it or turning it off. Operating the drive unit
immediately after a sudden increase in temperature may result in a
malfunction.
■ Transportation
• Close the disc drawer before moving the drive unit.
• Keep the original packing materials. When you need to ship the
drive unit to another location, repacking it in its original container
will help you transport it safely.

Installing the Drive Unit in Your Computer
This section explains how to install DDU220E into your PC.
Preparation
You need the following parts and tools (these are not supplied with
the drive):
• A flat-blade screwdriver
• Four screws 3 mm in diameter and 6 mm in length.
• Two mounting rails if your computer has mounting tracks.
Unplug the computer and disconnect the cables attached to the back
to give yourself more room to work. Do not turn on the power of the
computer before completing the entire installation process.

Setting the Jumpers
Set the jumpers on the rear of the drive unit in accordance with the
configuration of your computer system.
The jumpers are preset at the “MASTER” position as illustrated at
the factory.
Notes for configuration jumpers:
• Designation of the Drive Number is generally set by inserting a
jumper pin on either the MASTER or the SLAVE pin.
• When the DDU220E is daisy-chained with a Hard Disk Drive on
an IDE Card (ATA compliant) set the Hard Disk Drive as
MASTER and the DDU220E as SLAVE.
• If the DDU220E is the only device connected to the IDE Card, set
the DDU220E as MASTER.
CSEL
SLAVE
MASTER
It should be noted that some personal computers may use CSEL in
lieu of the foresaid MASTER/SLAVE selection. In this case, remove
the existing jumpers from MASTER and SLAVE, and set a jumper
on CSEL. When the CSEL signal of the interface connector is set
low, the drive is designated as Drive 0. When the CSEL is set high,
the drive is designated as Drive 1.
Consult your PC manufacturer or dealer for further details.
