Installing a CD-ROM/DVD Drive

1.Install the CD-ROM/DVD drive into the drive cage in your system case.

2.Plug the IDE cable into IDE1

(A). If you have already installed an HDD, use the other connec- tor on the IDE cable.

Note: Ribbon cable connectors are usually keyed so that they can only be installed correctly on the device connector. If the connector is not keyed, make sure that you match the pin-1 side of the cable connector with the pin-1 side of the device connec- tor. Each connector has the pin-1 side clearly marked. The pin-1 side of each ribbon cable is always marked with a colored stripe on the cable.

3.Plug an IDE cable connector into the CD-ROM/DVD drive IDE connector (B). It doesn't matter which connector on the cable you use.

4.Plug a power cable from the case power supply into the power connector on the CD-ROM/DVD drive (C).

5.Use the audio cable provided with the CD-ROM/DVD drive to connect to the mainboard CD-in connector CDIN1 or CDIN2 (D).

When you first start up your system, the BIOS should automatically detect your CD-ROM/DVD drive. If it doesn’t, enter the Setup Utility and configure the CD-ROM/DVD drive that you have installed.
