This chapter guides you through the installation of your new CD-ROM drive. To install the drive, your PC must have a free IDE interface connector, or you must buy an IDE controller card from a computer retailer. (An Enhanced IDE controller card is required if your PC already has a one-port IDE controller). See Appendix A for a brief introduction to IDE connections.
2.1 Installing the CD-ROM Drive

1.Turn off your PC and remove its casing.
2.Adjust the Master/Slave jumpers on the back of the CD-ROM drive as necessary. (The factory default of the slave mode normally should not be changed. See Appendix A.)
3.Remove the 5.25” drive’s drive guard as instructed by your PC manual.
4.Slide the CD-ROM drive into the drive bay.
