Connect secondary IDE BUS cable to CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive, assuring that pin
1 of the cable (side with red stripe) is connected to pin 1 on the drive.
• If the CD-RW/DVD-ROM is the only drive connected on the secondary IDE
BUS cable: connect drive to the last set of pins on IDE BUS cable.
• If there is a device (i.e. CD-ROM) connected to the secondary IDE BUS
cable: connect CD-RW/DVD-ROM to the open middle connector . The CD-
RW/DVD-ROM drive should then be jumpered to SL (slave) position.
If the CD-RW/DVD-ROM is to be the slave on the Primary BUS: connect the CD-
RW/DVD-ROM to the open connector on the primary IDE BUS cable. The CD-RW/
DVD-ROM drive should be jumpered to the SL (slave) position. Note: the primary
IDE BUS cable, in most cases, will be connected to your hard drive. The hard
drive will be the Master on the primary BUS.
Power Cable - Inside your computer system, locate an unused power supply cable.
Connect the power cable to the power socket at the back of the CD-RW/DVD-
ROM. One side of the plug has chamfered edges, so the power connector fits only
one way. Push plug completely into the socket making sure the plug fits correctly.
Audio Cable - Connecting your CD-RW/DVD-ROM to your sound card allows
you to play audio CDs on your computer (speakers or headphones are also needed).
If the CD-RW/DVD-ROM is in addition to a CD-ROM: If you choose to have both
a CD-ROM and CD-RW/DVD-ROM installed in your system, in most circum-
stances, only one audio cable can be used (there are some sound cards that will
allow you to have two audio connections). You must decide which device you
would like to hear audio from and connect the audio cable from the sound card to
the CD-ROM or CD-RW/DVD-ROM (DVD audio is transmitted through the data
cable, not the audio cable).
If the CD-RW/DVD-ROM is to be the only CD-ROM device in your system:
• If replacing a CD-ROM that had an audio cable connection: connect CD-
RW/DVD-ROM drive to the audio cable that the CD-ROM was connected.
Cable connects to the analog audio connector at the left rear of the CD-RW/
DVD-ROM (see Cable Location photo on page 3 for location).
• If you do not have an audio cable presently in your system: connect the CD-
RW/DVD-ROM using the audio cable that was included with this kit. Con-
nect one end to your sound card and the other end to the analog audio con-
nector at the left rear of the CD-RW/DVD-ROM (see Cable Location photo on
page 3 for location). Refer to the instructions which came with your sound
card for details on any sound-driver software required.
