Installing the CD-RW Drive
This section explains how to install the TEAC CD-RW Drive into an IBM PC or
compatible personal computer. Follow the steps below and refer to your computer
documentation for information specific to your system.
1.
Turn off the power to the computer system and any external devices con-
nected to it.
2.
Touch the exposed metal frame of the computer to ground yourself.
This will prevent damage to the computer or CD-RW drive that may be caused
by a discharge of static electricity.
3.
Remove your computer’s cover, faceplate, or 5.25-inch bay cover, as well
as mounting clips, screws, and retaining brackets.
4.
If you have a SCSI CD-ROM drive or no IDE CD-ROM/DVD drive
installed on your system, do the following:
4a)
Confirm that the jumper on the rear panel of the CD-RW drive is configured
to its default setting of Master.
4b)
Slide the CD-RW drive into the empty 5.25-inch drive bay. Install the CD-
RW drive in your personal computer in a horizontal orientation (within ±10˚
of horizontal). The eject button should be located on the right side of the
unit. Secure the drive using 3x5mm mounting screws.
4c)
Locate the secondary IDE connector on your system’s motherboard and
connect one end of the IDE interface cable.
Be certain to connect Pin-1 of the interface cable to Pin-1 on the secondary
IDE connector on the motherboard. (Pin-1 on interface cable is usually
designated by a color strip along one edge of the cable. Also, the interface
ribbon cable connector may feature a tab on one side. Insert the cable so that
the tab aligns with the notch on the interface connector. Do not use
excessive force while trying to insert the cable into position).
Note:
If you have a SCSI CD-ROM drive or no IDE CD-ROM/DVD drive
installed in your system, continue with Step 4. If you have an IDE CD-ROM/
DVD drive installed in your system, skip step 4 and continue with Step 5.
Warning:
Do not use mounting screws longer than 3x5mm to secure the
CD-RW drive or you may damage the unit.
