Installing the Drive

To install the drive into your computer, do the following:

Step 1. Opening the computer

To open your computer, do the following:

1.Turn off the computer and all attached devices.

2.Unplug the power cords for the computer and all attached devices.

3.Remove the cover from the computer. See the documentation for your computer for instructions on removing the cover.

Step 2. Unpacking the drive

To unpack the drive, do the following:

1.In order to discharge any accumulated static electricity, touch an unpainted metal surface for at least two seconds. Take the bag that the drive is packed in and touch the bag to an unpainted metal surface for at least two seconds.

2.Remove the drive from the bag.

If you must put the drive down, place the antistatic bag on a flat padded surface, and place the drive on the bag with the component side facing up.

Step 3. Selecting an IDE port

Newer computers typically have two IDE ports. If your computer has two IDE ports, use the secondary IDE port to connect the CD-RW drive. Typically the secondary IDE port is adjacent to the primary IDE port that connects to your hard disk drive. The IDE port you select and the cable position you select determine which configuration jumper setting you use for the drive. See “Step

4.Setting the configuration jumper” on page 1-6for instructions on setting the configuration jumper.

vIf you have two IDE ports, connect the CD-RW drive to the secondary IDE port with the IDE cable that comes with your drive. If the CD-RW drive is the only device on the secondary IDE port, you will use the master configuration setting. If there is another device on the secondary port in addition to the CD-RW drive, you will use the slave configuration setting.

vIf you must attach the CD-RW drive to the same IDE port as a faster device, such as a hard disk drive, use the slave setting for the CD-RW drive and the master setting for the faster device. In some instances, the hard disk drive might require a master-with-slave-present setting when another device on the same cable is configured as a slave. For further information on setting configuration jumpers on other devices, see the documentation that came with your computer or with the device in question.
