SETTING JUMPERS

The mode select jumpers are six (6) straight pins located on the rear of the DVD

functions:

CS: – Drive is configured using host interface signal CSEL
SL: – Configures drive as Slave

Mode Select Jumpers

In most installations, the jumper should remain in the MA (Master) position (fac­tory default). It is recommended that you install your DVD Writeable drive only
on the secondary IDE BUS. If you are installing on primary IDE BUS, your hard
drive would then be the Master, and you should set your drive to the Slave position
(SL).

PLACING DVD WRITEABLE DRIVE INSIDE YOUR COMPUTER

Now that you have set your drive’s jumpers, you are ready to install your
DVD Writeable drive inside your computer.

IMPORTANT: Disconnect power from your computer system before

beginning installation.

1. Remove computer cover and faceplate if required (refer to your computer
system’s manual for removal information).

2. If the DVD Writeable drive is replacing a CD-ROM, disconnect all connectors
and remove the CD-ROM presently installed in your system.

3. Your Toshiba DVD Writeable drive can be placed in any free half-height drive
slot at the front of your computer. (It can be mounted horizontally or vertically.)

4. Carefully start sliding the DVD Writeable drive into the opening with the disc
tray facing the front of the computer. Before you push the drive all the way in
you will need to connect the IDE BUS cable, audio cable and the power cable
to the back of the drive.

CONNECTING CABLES

Cable Locations on Rear of DVD Writeable Drive

IDE BUS Cable - Most computer system have a primary and secondary IDE BUS

cable already installed (an IDE BUS cable is included with your kit if your system
does not have a secondary IDE BUS cable).

If you are replacing a CD-ROM: connect the DVD Writeable drive using the
BUS cable that the CD-ROM was connected to. Be sure that the jumper setting of
the DVD Writeable drive is the same as the CD-ROM drive you are replacing.

If the DVD Writeable Drive is not replacing a CD-ROM and/or is in addition to
a CD-ROM: locate the secondary IDE BUS cable in your system. If your system

does not have a secondary IDE BUS cable installed, you will need to install the
IDE BUS cable that was included with your kit.

Installing secondary IDE BUS cable: locate the secondary IDE BUS connector
on your system’s motherboard (refer to your system’s documentation for loca­tion). Connect one end of the IDE BUS cable to motherboard, assuring that it
is keyed properly and that cable’s colored edge is aligned with Pin 1.

3

Connect secondary IDE BUS cable to the DVD Writeable drive, assuring that pin
1 of the cable (side with red stripe) is connected to pin 1 on the drive.

• If the DVD Writeable drive is the only drive connected on the secondary
IDE BUS cable: connect drive to the last set of pins on IDE BUS cable.

• If there is a device (i.e. CD-ROM) connected to the secondary IDE BUS
cable: connect the DVD Writeable drive to the open middle connector. The

DVD Writeable drive should then be jumpered to SL (slave) position.

If the DVD Writeable drive is to be the slave on the Primary BUS: connect the
DVD Writeable drive to the open connector on the primary IDE BUS cable. The
DVD Writeable drive should be jumpered to the SL (slave) position. Note: the

primary IDE BUS cable, in most cases, will be connected to your hard drive. The
hard drive will be the Master on the primary BUS.

Power Cable - Inside your computer system, locate an unused power supply cable.
Connect the power cable to the power socket at the back of the DVD Writeable
drive. One side of the plug has chamfered edges, so the power connector fits only
one way so be sure to insert the DC power plug in the correct direction. Push plug
completely into the socket making sure the plug fits correctly.

Audio Cable - Connecting your DVD Writeable drive to your sound card allows
you to play audio CDs on your computer (speakers or headphones are also needed).

If the DVD Writeable drive is in addition to a CD-ROM: If you choose to have
both a CD-ROM and DVD Writeable drive installed in your system, in most cir­cumstances, only one audio cable can be used (there are some sound cards that
will allow you to have two audio connections). You must decide which device you
would like to hear audio from and connect the audio cable from the sound card to
the CD-ROM or DVD Writeable drive (DVD audio is transmitted through the data
cable, not the audio cable).

If the DVD Writeable drive is to be the only CD-ROM device in your system:

• If replacing a CD-ROM that had an audio cable connection: connect the DVD
Writeable drive to the audio cable that the CD-ROM was connected. The Audio
cable connects to the analog audio connector at the left rear of the DVD
Writeable drive (see Cable Location photo on page 3 for location).

• If you do not have an audio cable presently in your system: connect the DVD
Writeable drive using the audio cable that was included with this kit. Connect
one end to your sound card and the other end to the analog audio connector at
the left rear of the drive (see Cable Location photo on page 3 for location).
Refer to the instructions which came with your sound card for details on any
sound-driver software required.

COMPLETING INSTALLATION

After you have connected all the necessary cables, push the DVD Writeable drive
completely into the computer’s drive slot. Mount the drive per your computer’s
instructions using the screws included in your kit. If you are using other screws,
assure that the screw length does not exceed 3±0.5mm (measured from outside
surface of side or bottom of drive to tip of screw). Replace the computer cover and
all outer screws.

ATAPI CD/DVD Software Driver:

Toshiba’s optical drives do not require any unique device drivers for Windows 98/
2000/ME/XP/NT. After installing your drive and re-booting, your system should
recognize your drive. Windows 98/2000/ME/XP/NT operating systems support
all Toshiba optical drives natively.
