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 1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 2to the IDE connector on the drive.
Align the cable so that the color-coded edge is closest to the power cable
connector 3. 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 ATAdevices. 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-ROMCombination
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 3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 7. 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.
