This will prevent damage to the computer or CD-RW drive that may be caused by a discharge of static electricity.

3.Remove your computer’s cover, faceplate, or 5.25-inch bay cover, as well as mounting clips, screws, and retaining brackets.

Note: If you have a SCSI CD-ROM drive or no IDE CD-ROM/DVD drive installed in your system, continue with Step 4. If you have an IDE CD-ROM/ DVD drive installed in your system, skip step 4 and continue with Step 5.

4.If you have a SCSI CD-ROM drive or no IDE CD-ROM/DVD drive installed on your system, do the following:

4a) Confirm that the jumper on the rear panel of the CD-RW drive is configured to its default setting of Master.

4b) Slide the CD-RW drive into the empty 5.25-inch drive bay. Install the CD- RW drive in your personal computer in a horizontal orientation (within ±10˚ of horizontal). The eject button should be located on the right side of the unit. Secure the drive using 3x5mm mounting screws.

Warning: Do not use mounting screws longer than 3x5mm to secure the CD-RW drive or you may damage the unit.

4c) Locate the secondary IDE connector on your system’s motherboard and connect one end of the IDE interface cable.

Be certain to connect Pin-1 of the interface cable to Pin-1 on the secondary IDE connector on the motherboard. (Pin-1 on interface cable is usually designated by a color strip along one edge of the cable. Also, the interface ribbon cable connector may feature a tab on one side. Insert the cable so that the tab aligns with the notch on the interface connector. Do not use excessive force while trying to insert the cable into position).
