Step 6. Attaching the cables to the drive

Connect the cables to the CD-RW drive as follows:

1.If you want to connect the CD-RW drive to your sound adapter or to the sound function on your system board, locate the included audio cables and determine

which cable best fits the CD audio-in port on your sound adapter. Connect one

end of the selected audio cable to the CD-RW drive audio-out connector , and the other end of the cable to your sound adapter CD audio-in port. Save the other cable in case you use a different sound adapter in the future.

Note: Some computers have a smaller connector that is incompatible with the included audio cable. If your computer has this kind of connector, you must purchase a new audio cable.


2. Attach a 40-pin IDE-cable connector		to the IDE connector on the drive.
Align the cable so that the color-coded edge is closest to the power cable
connector	. Use the IDE cable provided with this option if there is no cable

attached to the IDE port or if there is only one device connector on the IDE cable. If you use the included IDE cable, attach one end of the cable to your system board IDE port or to your IDE adapter, and the other end of the IDE cable to the CD-RW drive.

3.Locate one of the available power cables attached to your computer power

source. Attach the four-pin power cable	to the CD-RW drive DC power
connector.

Step 7. Completing the hardware installation

To complete the hardware installation, do the following:

1.Be sure that the drive is securely mounted and the connectors are firmly attached.

2.Be sure the cables do not interfere with the computer cover and do not block any fan blade or air-flow paths.

3.Reinstall the computer cover.

4.Reconnect all devices and check any devices that might have become disconnected, such as the keyboard, mouse, and monitor.

5.Connect all power cords to electrical outlets.

Step 8. Updating your computer configuration

After you have completed the hardware installation, restart your computer. Usually, the configuration-setup information screen is displayed when you turn on your computer. If you do not see this screen, check your computer documentation for information about accessing the configuration or setup utility program.
