SETUP – SR-M8102

The following steps must be performed to properly install your drive:

• Set Drive Jumper Settings

• Connect Audio Cable

• Attach IDE BUS Cable

• Attach Power Cable

• Mount Drive

Jumper Settings

The mode select jumpers are 6 straight angle pins located on the rear of the CD-R/CD-RW drive.
By placing a jumper on the pins, you can select the following functions:

CS
SL Configures drive as Slave
MA Configures drive as Master (default mode)

In most installations, jumper should remain in the MA position (factory default). It is recommended that
you install your CD-R/CD-RW 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 CD-R/CD-RW drive to the
Slave position (SL)

Drive is configured using host interface signal CSEL

Figure 2.Jumper Locations

Placing CD-R/CD-RW Drive inside your Computer

Now that you have set the jumpers, you are ready to install your CD-R/CD-RW drive inside your
computer.

Important Note: Disconnect power from your computer system before beginning installation.

Remove computer cover and faceplate if required. Refer to your computer systems manual for removal
information. If the CD-R/CD-RW drive is replacing a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM, remove drive presently
installed in your system.

Your Toshiba CD-R/CD-RW drive can be placed in any free half-height drive slot at the front of your
computer. (It can be mounted horizontally or vertically.)

Carefully start sliding the CD-R/CD-RW 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 on the back of the drive.

Connecting Cables

IDE BUS Cable (not supplied with drive) - Your computer system should have a primary and secondary
IDE BUS, cable with your Hard Drive most likely being the Master on the primary BUS. Connect BUS

cable as follows, assuring that pin 1 of cable (side with red stripe) is connected to pin 1 of the CD-R/CD­RW drive's interface connector:

If you are replacing your CD-ROM or DVD:
connect CD-R/CD-RW drive to the BUS Cable connector

Figure 3.Installing BUS Cable

that the CD-ROM or DVD was connected to.

If CD-R/CD-RW drive is not replacing a CD-ROM/DVD
or is an addition to a CD-ROM/DVD:

connect CD-R/CD-RW drive to an open connector on
the secondary IDE BUS cable (not supplied with drive).

If CD-R/CD-RW drive is to be slave on Primary BUS:
connect CD-R/CD-RW drive to open connector on the
primary IDE BUS cable (not supplied with drive).

4

Power Cable - Connect an internal computer power
supply cable to the power socket at the back of the CD­R/CD-RW drive. One side of the plug has chamfered
edges, so the power connector fits only one way. Push
plug completely into the socket making sure the plug fits
correctly.

Figure 4.Installing Power Cable

Audio Cable (optional) - If you have a sound card and

speakers, and would like to play audio CDs on your
computer, you will need to install a CD/DVD audio cable.
Toshiba's CD-R/CD-RW drives use a standard 4-pin
audio cable that can be purchased from most local
computer suppliers. The sound cable connects to your
sound card at one end and the other end connects to
the digital audio connector at the left rear of the CD­R/CD-RW drive (see CD-R/CD-RW drive Back Panel
photo for location). Refer to the instructions that came
with your sound card for details on any sound-driver
software required

Figure 5.Installing Audio Cable

Completing Installation

.

After you have connected all the necessary cables,
push the CD-R/CD-RW drive completely into the
computers drive slot. Mount drive per your computers
instructions. The screw length should not exceed

30.5mm (measured from outside surface of side or
bottom of drive to tip of screw). Replace computer
cover and all outer screws.

Figure 6.Mounting Illustration

Software Driver - Toshiba's optical drives do not require any unique device drivers for Windows

'95/'98/2000/Me/XP/NT. After installing your drive and re-booting, your system should recognize your
drive. Windows '95/'98/2000/Me/XP/NT Operating Systems support all Toshiba optical drives natively If
you prefer using DOS, download the DOS ATAPI driver from our web site.

Other Software - Additional software is required to use the SR-M8102 CD-R/-RW functions.

USING THE CD-R/CD-RW Drive – SR-M8102

Drive Operation

Inserting a Disc - Horizontally

To insert a disc into a drive that is mounted horizontally, perform the following steps:

Figure 1.Inserting Disc

1. Open the drive's Loading tray by pressing the Eject Button.

2. Place disc or into drive's Loading tray

3. Press Eject button again or gently push on the open disc tray. Tray will automatically close.

Inserting a Disc - Vertically

To insert a disc in a drive that is mounted vertically, perform the following steps:

1. Locate sliding disc holders (4 locations) on drive's Loading Tray.

2. The vertical position of the drive (eject button up or down) determines which of these four sliding

disc holders are used (see photo below). Position the disc behind 3 of the disc holders, two on
bottom, and one on upper rear, closest to drive). Using all four holders may cause the disc to not
set properly in tray.

3. Slide the disc holders towards the center of tray using your finger, opened paper clip or the end

of the emergency eject tool. The holder in the upper front side should be pulled away from the
center of tray.

4. Position the disc behind disc holders on upper and rear side of tray. Then put disc behind bottom

front holder
Check to see that all three disc holders are holding disc securely.
Close the drive by gently pushing in the tray or pressing the eject button.

Figure 2.Inserting Disc Vertically

Removing a Disc

To remove a disc from the CD-R/CD-RW drive, perform the following steps:

1. Open the Loading Tray by pressing the Eject Button.

2. Slide disc holders away from disc.

3. Grasp disc by edges, and lift out of loading tray.

4. Press Eject Button again to close Loading Tray.

CD-RW Software

Additional software is required to use the SR-M8102 CD-R/-RW functions

Usage Guidelines

• Keep the disc tray closed when not using the CD-R/CD-RW Drive.

• Do not press down on the disc tray when opening or closing it.

• Do not place objects on the disc tray.

• Never use a damaged, broken, or deformed disc.

• Do not press the Open/Close button while the drive is accessing a disc.

NOTE: High-speed drives spin the disc at a high rotational speed. If a disc has printing on only half of the
disc, or if there is a slight imbalance in the disc, the imbalance is greatly magnified by the high speed,
causing the drive to vibrate or produce a fan-like noise. These effects are inherent in the high-speed
technology and do not indicate a problem with the drive.

Emergency Ejection

CAUTION: The following procedure is intended only as a last resort when pressing the
eject button fails to open the Loading Tray

1. Turn computer power OFF by properly shutting down system.

2. Insert a solid bar (i.e. large paper clip) into Emergency Eject hole and push in until loading tray

opens. Pull tray out.

Figure 3.Using Emergency Eject

Cleaning Media

Try to avoid touching the read area (underside) of the disc as dirt and smears will degrade the disc
accessing speed.
If the disc becomes dirty wipe it with a damp soft cloth. Avoid cleaning in a circular motion, but rather
from the inner side outward.
