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 chan-
nel 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
CDIN1 and CDIN2 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.
