Chapter 3: Installing the W6-LI
Installing a CD-ROM Drive
If you are installing a CD-ROM drive, Micronics recom-
mends the installation of an IDE CD-ROM drive.
The
instructions below will help you with the installation, but also
refer to the documentation that 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 installation hardware
❏
Interface Cable
❏
CD Audio 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 W6-LI system board (see Figures 2.1 and 2.2).
4.
Connect the power supply cable to the CD-ROM
drive's power connector.
5.
Install the CD-ROM device drivers. CD-ROM drives
require device drivers to access the drive and are
generally provided by the manufacturer of the CD-
ROM drive. Usually one device driver is added to the
CONFIG.SYS file and one to the AUTOEXEC.BAT
file.
6.
If you are using the CD-ROM drive in an MS-DOS
environment, the utility MSCDEX.EXE must also be
added to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Consult your
DOS manual for more information.
