vSome non-IBM computers support the cable-select setting, where the position of the device on the cable determines whether a device is master or slave. See the documentation that comes with your computer to determine if your computer supports this setting.

Step 4. Setting the configuration jumper

The following illustration shows the master

setting, the slave

setting,

and the cable-select

setting. Configure the CD-RW drive by placing a

jumper over one pair of pins corresponding to the setting you chose in Step 3.

vIf you are configuring the drive as master, set the jumper to the master device setting. (This is how the drive is set when it is shipped.) If there is a second device on the IDE port, check that the device is configured as slave.

vIf you are configuring the drive as slave, set the jumper to the slave

device setting. Check that the other device on the IDE port is configured as master (or master-with-slave-present).

vIf you are configuring the drive as cable-select, set the jumper to the

cable-select device setting. If there is another device on the IDE port, check that the device is also configured for cable-select.

Step 5. Mounting the drive in the bay

Attention: Be sure to use the mounting screws in the option package when you are driving screws directly into the drive. Using screws that are too long might damage the drive.

You can mount the CD-RW drive in the computer either horizontally or vertically. If you mount the drive vertically, you must secure any CDs you place into the drive before you close the drive tray, or the CD-RW drive will not be able to read the CD properly. For further instructions on securing your CDs in a vertically mounted drive, see “Loading a CD” on page 1-11.

1.Slide the drive into the bay. Your computer might have specific required procedures for installing storage devices. Refer to the documentation that came with your computer for further instructions.

2.Align the drive-bay screw holes with the threaded holes in the drive housing or mounting bracket. Be sure to use the mounting screws provided
