Placing DVD Rewriteable Drive inside your Computer

Now that you have set the jumpers, you are ready to install your DVD Rewriteable drive inside your computer.

Important Note: Disconnect power from your computer system before beginning installation.

Remove computer cover and faceplate if required. Refer to your computer systems manual for removal information. If the DVD Rewriteable drive is replacing a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM, remove drive presently installed in your system.

Your Toshiba DVD Rewriteable drive can be placed in any free half-height drive slot at the front of your computer. (It can be mounted horizontally or vertically.)

Carefully start sliding the DVD Rewriteable drive into the opening with the disc tray facing the front of the computer. Before you push the drive all the way in you will need to connect the IDE BUS cable, Audio cable and the Power cable on the back of the drive.

Connecting Cables

IDE BUS Cable (not supplied with drive) - Your computer system should have a primary and secondary IDE BUS, cable with your Hard Drive most likely being the Master on the primary BUS. Connect BUS cable as follows, assuring that pin 1 of cable (side with red stripe) is connected to pin 1 of the DVD Rewriteable drive's interface connector:

If you are replacing your CD-ROM or DVD: connect DVD Rewriteable drive to the BUS Cable connector that the CD-ROM or DVD was connected to.

If DVD Rewriteable drive is not replacing a CD- ROM/DVD or is an addition to a CD-ROM/DVD: connect DVD Rewriteable drive to an open connector on the secondary IDE BUS cable (not supplied with drive).

If DVD Rewriteable drive is to be slave on Primary BUS: connect DVD Rewriteable drive to open connector on the primary IDE BUS cable (not supplied with drive).
