2.

Align

the drive-bay screw holes

with

the threaded

holes

in

the

drive

housing or

 

mounting

bracket;

then

thread

the

screws in

loosely

to

check

their positions.

 

Usually

two screws

are

used

on

each

side.

 

 

 

 

 

 

3.

Check

to

make

sure

the

alignment

is

correct;

then

tighten

the

screws

to secure the

 

drive.

Do

not

overtighten.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 6. Attaching the cables to the drive

1. Connect the cables to the CD-ROM drive as follows.

 

a.

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

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

b.

Attach

a

four-pin

 

power-cable

connector

 

 

3 to

the

device

dc-power

 

 

 

 

 

connector.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

c.

If

 

you

have

a

sound

card,

 

locate

the

 

included

audio

cables

and

determine

 

 

 

 

 

which

cable

best

fits

the

CD

audio-in

port

on

your

sound

card.

Connect

one

 

 

 

 

end

 

of

the

selected

audio

cable

to

the

 

device

audio-out

connector

 

1 ,

and

 

 

 

 

the

other

end

of

the

cable

 

to

your

sound

card CD audio-in

port.

Save

the

 

 

 

 

other

cable

in

case

you

use

a

different

sound

card

in

the

future.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step

7.

Completing

the

hardware

 

installation

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1.

Be

sure

that

the

drive

is

 

securely

mounted

and

the

connectors

are

firmly

attached.

2.

Be

sure

the

cables

 

do

not

interfere

with

the

computer

cover

and

 

do

not block

the

 

power-supply

fan

blades

or air-flow paths.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3.

Reinstall

the

computer

cover.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4.

Reconnect

all

devices

 

and

check

any

devices

that

might

have

become

 

 

 

 

 

 

disconnected,

such

as

the

keyboard,

mouse, and

monitor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5.

Plug

all

power

cords

into

electrical

 

outlets.
