Installing the DVD-ROM Drive
This section explains how to install the TEAC DVD-ROM drive into an IBM PC or
compatible computer. The drive may be installed in a horizontal or vertical
orientation (within ±5˚ of horizontal or vertical position). Follow the steps below and
refer to your computer documentation for information specific to your computer
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 DVD-ROM 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 any mounting clips, screws, and retaining brackets.
4.
If you
(a)
have a
SCSI
CD-RW or CD-ROM drive installed in your system
or
(b)
do
not
have any
IDE
CD-ROM or CD-RW drives installed in your
system, do the following:
4a)
Confirm that the jumper on the rear panel of the DVD-ROM drive is
configured to its default setting of Master (see “TEAC 16X DVD-ROM
Drive Installation Guide (this manual)” on page 3).
4b)
Slide the DVD-ROM drive into an empty 5.25" drive bay. Secure the drive
using the included 3x5mm mounting screws.
4c)
Locate the secondary IDE connector on your system’s motherboard and
connect one end of the IDE interface cable to it.
Note:
If you
(a)
have a SCSI CD-RW or CD-ROM drive already installed in
your system or
(b)
do not have any IDE CD-ROM or CD-RW drives installed
in your system, continue with Step 4. If you already have an IDE CD-ROM or
CD-RW 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
DVD-ROM drive or you may damage the unit.
Note:
The TEAC DVD-ROM kit does not include an IDE interface cable.
If you need one, you can purchase it from your local computer store.
