Be certain to connect Pin-1 of the interface cable to Pin-1 on the secondary
IDE connector on the motherboard. (Pin-1 on an 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 drive’s IDE interface connector. Do not
use excessive force while trying to insert the cable into position.)
4d)
Connect the other end of the IDE interface ribbon cable to the interface
connector on the rear panel of the DVD-ROM drive.
(Skip Step 5 and
proceed to Step 6.)

If you already have an IDE CD-ROM or CD-RW drive installed in your
system, do the following:
Typically, an IDE CD-ROM or CD-RW drive that is already installed in your
system is connected to the secondary IDE motherboard connector, and is
configured as a Master. In such cases, it is strongly recommended that you
configure the TEAC 16X DVD-ROM drive as a Slave drive, then connect it to
the same cable that currently hosts your installed CD-ROM or CD-RW drive.
5a)
Set the jumper on the rear panel of the TEAC DVD-ROM drive to Slave (see
“TEAC 16X DVD-ROM Drive Installation Guide (this manual)” on
page 3).
5b)
Slide the DVD-ROM drive into the empty 5.25-inch drive bay. Secure the
drive using 3x5mm mounting screws.
5c)
Connect the DVD-ROM to the vacant middle connector on your CD-ROM/
CD-RW interface cable. (If your original cable does not have an available
middle connector, you will need to acquire and install a standard IDE cable
with three connectors.)
(Proceed to Step 6.)
6.
Connect one end of the included audio cable to the analog audio connector
on the rear panel of the DVD-ROM drive, then connect the other end to
your sound card.
Warning:
Do not use mounting screws longer than 3x5mm to secure the
DVD-ROM drive or you may damage the unit.
Note:
There is no need to install this cable if an audio cable is already con-
nected from your CD-ROM/CD-RW drive to the sound card. Use the CD-
ROM/CD-RW drive to listen to audio CDs.
