with this drive. Using the wrong size screws might damage the drive. Thread the screws in loosely to check their position. Usually two screws are used on each side.

3.Check to ensure that the alignment is correct, and then tighten the screws to secure the drive. Do not overtighten.

Step 6. Attaching the cables to the drive

Connect the cables to the CD-RW drive as follows:

1.If you want to connect the CD-RW drive to your sound adapter or to the sound function on your system board, locate the included audio cables and determine which cable best fits the CD audio-in port on your sound

adapter. Connect one end of the selected audio cable to the CD-RW drive

audio-out connector , and the other end of the cable to your sound adapter CD audio-in port. Save the other cable in case you use a different sound adapter in the future.


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 provided with this option if there is no

cable attached to the IDE port or if there is only one device connector on the IDE cable. If you use the included IDE cable, attach one end of the cable to your system board IDE port or to your IDE adapter, and the other end of the IDE cable to the CD-RW drive.

3.Locate one of the available power cables attached to your computer power

source. Attach the four-pin power cable	to the CD-RW drive dc power
connector.

Note: Some computers have a smaller connector that is incompatible with the included audio cable. If your computer has this kind of connector, you must purchase a new audio cable.
