Micronics M54Hi-Plus System Board Manual
Installing a CD-ROM Drive
Micronics recommends the installation of an IDE CD-ROM. If you are
installing a CD-ROM drive these instructions will help you, but also refer to
the documentation which accompanied your CD-ROM drive. Before starting
the setup and installation, make sure your computer is off and the power cord
is disconnected from the wall outlet. Your CD-ROM drive kit should contain
the following items for a successful installation:
CD ROM Drive with optional slide rails.
Interface Cable.
Audio Cable.
Install the CD-ROM hardware as recommended by the CD-ROM manufac-
turer. Follow the steps below for help on installing the CD-ROM audio cable.
Installing the cable:
1.
Connect the ribbon cable as described in the CD-ROM’s documentation,
making sure the red stripe on the cable is aligned with pin 1 of the
connectors.
2.
Connect the audio cable to the CD-ROM drive's audio connector.
3.
Connect the other end of the audio cable to the MPC-2 compatible CD-
ROM audio connector on the M54Hi-Plus system board (Figure 3-10).
4.
Install the CD-ROM device drivers. CD-ROM drives require device
drivers to access the drive and are generally provided by the manufac-
turer of the CD-ROM drive. Usually one device driver is added to the
CONFIG.SYS file and one to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
5.
Now, you are now ready to setup the sound controller. Follow the
“Hardware Installation” section in Chapter 3 and the “Installing the
Sound Controller Drivers” section at the end of this chapter.
