4e) Connect one end of an analog audio cable to the analog audio connector on the rear panel of the CD-RW drive and connect the opposite end to your sound card. (Go to Step 6.)

5.If you have an IDE CD-ROM/DVD drive installed on your system, do the following:

Typically, your IDE CD-ROM/DVD drive is connected to the secondary IDE motherboard connector as a Master. In such cases, it is strongly recommended that you connect the CD-RW drive as a Slave drive to the same cable that currently hosts your CD-ROM/DVD drive.

5a) Set the jumper on the rear panel of the CD-RW drive to Slave.

5b) 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.

5c) Connect the CD-RW to the vacant middle connector on your CD-ROM/ DVD interface cable. (If your original cable does not have an available middle connector, you will need to acquire and install a standard IDE cable with three connectors.)

5d) Your CD-ROM/DVD drive probably uses an audio cable that is connected to the computer’s sound card. Therefore, there is no need to connect an audio cable to your CD-RW drive. An audio cable is not necessary for recording audio CDs.

6.Connect the power cable to the power connector on the rear panel of the CD-RW drive.

Insert the power cable plug in the correct orientation into the power connector. The plug is shaped so that it can be easily inserted in only one orientation; do not force the plug into the connector. The +5v terminal is on the left as you face the rear of the panel; the +12v terminal is on the right. The two center terminals are ground terminals.
