Terminating the CD-RW Drive
If you position the CD-RW drive at the end of a SCSI chain, you must “terminate”
the CD-RW drive; however, do not terminate the CD-RW drive if it is not physically
connected at the end of the SCSI chain.
If jumper pin S4 is closed (that is, if the jumper is seated on both pins), the CD-RW
drive is terminated. If S4 is open (i.e., the jumper is not seated on both pins), the CD-
RW drive is not terminated.
The factory default setting for the CD-RW drive is
closed (terminated).
Configuring Other Jumpers on the CD-RW Drive
This section explains how to configure the remainder of the jumper pin block on the
rear panel of the CD-RW drive.
Setting the Parity Switch
If jumper pin S3 is open, an odd parity check is performed for the input data. If S3 is
closed, no parity check is performed.
The factory default setting is open.
Jumper Settings S5 and S6
These jumper pins are intended for TEAC factory use only.
The factory default
setting is open.
Installing the CD-RW Drive
After you install a SCSI adapter card in your computer and configure the jumper pin
block on the CD-RW drive, follow the steps below to install the TEAC CD-RW drive
into your computer. 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.
Slide the CD-RW drive into the empty 5.25-inch drive bay.
Install the CD-RW drive in an 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.
Note: A SCSI card is not included with the drive. Please see “Recommended
Adapters” on page 8.
Warning: Failure to correctly terminate the SCSI bus may result in malfunction
to the CD-RW drive.
