INSTALLING YOUR	3
DRIVE

This chapter contains detailed instructions to guide you through the installation of your new CD-ROM drive.

To install the drive, your PC must have at least one free IDE interface connector. If not, you need to go to a computer retailer and buy an IDE controller card (an Enhanced IDE controller card is needed if your PC already has a one-port IDE controller). See Appendix A for a brief introduction to IDE connections.

3.1 Installing the CD-ROM Drive

Here’s how to install your CD-ROM drive:

1.Adjust the Master/Slave jumpers on the back of the CD-ROM drive as necessary. (The factory setting of the slave mode meets most people’s needs and normally does not need to be changed. See Appendix A.)

2.Disconnect the power to your PC and remove your PC's casing.

3.Slide the CD-ROM drive into the mounting rails of a 5.25” drive bay.
