If you must use mounting rails, install them as shown below:

There are four holes provided on each side of the drive. To mount an internal drive
in most computers, the rails should be fastened to the lower pair of holes. In some
instances you may need to fasten the rails to the upper set of holes.

You will find that eight screws were supplied with your drive: four chrome screws and
four black screws. Select which screws to use based on which set of holes you use to
attach the mounting rails.

Use the 

chrome

 screws if you use the upper set of mounting

holes.

Use the 

black

 screws if you use the lower set of mounting holes.

Check the positioning of the rails by sliding the drive into the bay before you connect
any cables.

Check Your Jumper Settings

Once you have determined a) the correct set of holes to use to attach mounting rails,
or b) that you don’t have to use mounting rails, you are almost ready to finish your
drive’s installation. Before doing so, however, check your jumper settings one
last time.

If you do not have any SCSI peripherals (e.g., hard disk, scanner, printer, etc.) in your
system other than your CD-ROM drive, you should not change the jumpers from their
factory setting.

If you do have other SCSI peripherals as part of your computer system, you may need
to change the settings of the SCSI ID and Terminator. See Chapters 6 and 7 for
information on how to change these settings.

Be sure not to mistake the inner and outer face of
the rail when attaching. The smooth side of the rail
        faces away from the drive’s chassis.
