Installing the Drive in Your Computer

Consult your computers User Manual for instructions on how to add new hardware. Be sure to follow their anti-static precautions.

Preparation

The following parts and tools will be required to mount the drive in your computer:

•Four screws 3 mm in diameter and 6 mm in length.

•A screwdriver to suit.

•Two mounting rails if your computer has mounting tracks.

Do not turn on the power of the computer before completing the entire installation process.

Setting the Jumpers

Set the jumpers on the rear of the drive in accordance with the configuration of your computer system.

The illustration below shows the jumpers set to the “MASTER” position, this is the default set by the factory.

CSEL

SLAVE

MASTER

Your computer should have a PRIMARY IDE bus and a SECONDARY IDE bus. Each bus can have one MASTER and one SLAVE device connected to it. Follow the configuration guidlines below for optimum performance and reliability.

•Set the CRX-160E as the MASTER device.

•The CRX-160E can be connected to either the PRIMARY or SECONDARY bus, however if you have an IDE Hard disk on your computer the hard disk should be set as the MASTER device on the PRIMARY bus. Hence the CRX-160E must be set as the PRIMARY device on the SECONDARY bus.

•Do not have a CD-ROM reader and a CD writer on the same IDE bus (ie: both on the SECONDARY bus). This will cause problems if copying from CD to CD.

Some personal computers may use CSEL in place of the MASTER/ SLAVE selection. In this case, remove the existing jumper from MASTER or SLAVE, and set it on CSEL. When the CSEL is set high, the drive is designated as Drive 1.

Consult your PC manufacturer, IDE Card manufacturer or dealer for further details.
