Installing a CD-ROM/DVD Drive
1. Install the CD-ROM/DVD drive into the drive cage in your system
case. Plug the IDE cable into the primary IDE channel on the
mainboard IDE1.
2. Plug one of the connectors on the IDE cable into the IDE connector
on the back edge of the CD-ROM/DVD drive. It doesn’t matter which
connector on the cable that you use. Make sure that you have the
pin-1 side of the cable matched with the pin-1 side of the connector.
3. Plug a power cable from the case power supply unit into the power
connector on the back edge of the CD-ROM/DVD drive.
4. Use the audio cable provided with the CD-ROM/DVD drive to
connect the audio connector on the rear edge of the CD-ROM/DVD
drive to the one of the two audio-in connectors CD1IN and CD2IN on
the mainboard.
5. When you first start up your system, go immediately to the setup
utility and use the IDE Hard Disk Auto Detect feature to configure the
IDE devices that you have installed. See Chapter 3 for more
information.
