IBM 22P6959 manual Completing the hardware installation

The following is an illustration of the internal audio cable that comes with your option package.

1.The internal audio cable has a split-connector end and a single-connector

end. Connect one of the split-connector ends to the audio-out connector on the CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination Drive. If you have another CD-ROM, CD-RW or DVD-ROM drive, attach the other split-connector end to the audio-out connector on this drive. Attach the single-connector end to your sound adapter.

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 connector. 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 connector, and connect the other end of the cable to the device. Do not use the middle connector. Use the IDE cable that is provided with this option if there is no cable attached to the computer IDE connector, or if there is only one device connector on the computer IDE cable.

If you are connecting two devices to the IDE cable, connect one end of the cable to the IDE connector, and connect the master and subordinate devices to the remaining connectors on the other end. Many computers have two cables for attaching up to four ATA devices. For best performance, attach fast devices (such as hard disk drives) to the cable that is connected to the primary IDE connector, and connect the CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination Drive or other slower devices (such as CD-ROM drives, tape drives, and removable media) to the cable that is connected to the secondary IDE connector.

3. Attach a four-pin power cable to the power connector on the CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination 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 CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination 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.
