This chapter guides you through the installation of
your new CD-ROM drive. To install the drive, your PC
must have a free IDE interface connector, or you must
buy an IDE controller card from a computer retailer.
(An Enhanced IDE controller card is required if your
PC already has a one-port IDE controller). See
Appendix A for a brief introduction to IDE
connections.
2.1 Installing the CD-ROM Drive
Here’s how to install your CD-ROM drive:
1. Turn off your PC and remove its casing.
2. Adjust the Master/Slave jumpers on the back of the
CD-ROM drive as necessary. (The factory default
of the slave mode normally should not be changed.
See
Appendix A.)
3. Remove the 5.25” drive’s drive guard as instructed
by your PC manual.
4. Slide the CD-ROM drive into the drive bay.
