Completing the hardware installation


1.	Connect the dual-connector end of the included internal audio cable			to
	the audio-out connector on the DVD-ROM drive.
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 that is provided with this option if there

is no cable attached to the IDE port or if there is only one device connector on the computer IDE cable. The IDE cable can have up to three connectors. For the best signal quality when you are connecting only one device to the IDE cable, connect one end of the cable to the IDE port, and connect the other end of the cable to the device. Do not use the middle connector.

If you are connecting two devices to the IDE cable, connect one end of the cable to the IDE port, and connect the master and slave devices to the remaining connectors on the other end. Many computers have two cables for atttaching up to four ATA devices. For best performance, attach fast devices (hard disk drives) to the cable that is connected to the primary IDE port, and connect the DVD-RAM drive or other slower devices (CD-ROM drives, tape drives, diskette drives) to the cable that is connected to the secondary IDE port.

3. Attach a four-pin power cable	to the power connector on the DVD-RAM
drive.

Be sure that the cables will not be pinched or crowded by the computer cover and that all other cable and power connections are secure.

Step 6. Completing the hardware installation

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

2.Be sure that the cables do not interfere with the computer cover, and that they do not block the power-supply fan blades or airflow paths.

3.Reinstall the computer cover.

4.Reconnect all external devices.

5.Plug all power cords into the wall outlets.

Step 7. Verifying device driver installation in Windows NT

Some IBM computers with preinstalled Windows NT 4.0 contain a PIIXIDE device driver. This device driver replaces the Windows NT 4.0 native ATAPI device driver and provides DMA support. The drive will not work if both the ATAPI and PIIXIDE device drivers are enabled at the same time. If both device drivers are enabled at the same time, open the Control Panel, and set the Startup parameter of ATAPI.SYS to Disabled.

Step 8. Installing the InstantWrite software

To install the InstantWrite software, do the following:
