Cable Select Jumper Settings
If you wish to use the veloCD in cable select mode, be certain that the veloCD is located
in the Master location on the cable select IDE cable.
Figure 6:
Install Jumpers Across Vertical Pairs of Pins
INSTALL THE veloCD REWRITER
Before proceeding to install the veloCD ReWRITER in your personal computer, double-check
your jumper setting.
Record the Serial Number
Record the serial number and TLA code of your drive on the last page of this manual.
Mount the veloCD ReWRITER in the Computer
Mount your internal veloCD ReWRITER in any available bay. Remove the small panel that covers
the bay you want to use.
If you don’t have an empty bay, remove the existing IDE CD-ROM drive and install the veloCD.
You must make a minimum of two cable connections to your veloCD ReWRITER. The two cable
connections that you must make are:
•
IDE cable
•
Power cable
A third cable connection will need to be made if you are using a soundcard in your computer and
plan to connect the veloCD ReWRITER’s audio output to the audio connector on the soundcard in
order to play audio using non-TDK software.
ABOUT CABLE SELECT
The CABLE SELECT jumper position sets the veloCD ReWRITER to use the CSEL signal from the IDE
interface for configuration. This signal automatically selects the correct Master/Slave setting for
the veloCD. To use CSEL, you must have a computer that supports CSEL and a special CSEL IDE cable.
Figure 4:
Using the CSEL Signal to Configure the veloCD ReWRITER
SET THE DRIVE’S JUMPERS
Specify your drive's master or slave setting before installing it. You do this by changing the position
of a jumper on the jumper block at the rear of the drive.
Your drive ships from our factory with its jumper set to operate the veloCD ReWRITER as a master.
Changing the Jumper on Your Internal veloCD ReWRITER
As shown in Figure 5, the veloCD ReWRITER arrives from the factory with its jumper set to MASTER.
(If jumper is installed then function is ON. If jumper is removed then function is OFF.)
Figure 5:
Factory Settings for Jumpers at the Rear of the Drive
Changing to a Master, Slave, or Cable Select
The Master/Slave setting for the drive is determined by the jumper. To change the drive from being
a Master to a Slave or to Cable Select, remove the jumper with your fingers or needle nose pliers.
Then push on to your respective setting. For example, to change the veloCD ReWRITER to be a Slave,
move the jumper to the right set of pins, leaving the other pins uncovered. To change the drive for
Cable Select, move the jumper to the left set of pins.

CAUTION:
Install jumpers across each pin as shown
(vertically). Do not connect one pin switch to another
by installing the jumpers lengthwise (horizontally).
Doing so could result in damage to the drive.
CAUTION:
Install your veloCD ReWRITER horizontally.
TDK does not guarantee the drive’s performance in
a vertical position.
FYI:
A special utility in the TDK CD Blender software
suite sends the audio output from the veloCD
ReWRITER to your sound-card via the ATAPI bus.
This will enable you to play audio CDs from the
veloCD drive without a cable connection to the
soundcard.
