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 1 setting, the slave 2 setting,
and the cable-select 3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 1
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
2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 3 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-RWdrive 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
