16. Connect the SCSI ribbon cable to your new Yamaha CD-RW as illustrated below. Please
note that your CD-RW drive has an arrow on the right side of the SCSI connector. This
arrow should point to the color (usually red or pink) line on the SCSI cable. Connect
the other end of the ribbon cable to the SCSI controller card. Your new Yamaha CD-RW
drive is designed to accept the SCSI ribbon cable only at its correct orientation. Do not
force the ribbon in if you feel it does not fit the slot. Refer back to step 10 and repeat
the process described.
Please proceed to page 21 step 17, to continue installation of your SCSI model recorder.
Section B - E-IDE Models
Important Note:
Most CD-ROM drives are connected to IDE controllers. If so, you do not need to disconnect
your CD-ROM drive.
12. It is now time to replace your computer’s original IDE ribbon cable with the three con-
nector E-IDE ribbon cable provided in the package. On most computers, the connectors
are keyed in such a way that it is impossible to install this cable incorrectly. However,
this may not be the case in your computer.
13. To ensure that the cable is correctly connected, make sure that the colored wire and the
Pin 1 arrow are lined up with Pin 1 of the IDE controller or the IDE connector on the
motherboard and drive connectors. Also, make sure that the cable connector is proper-
ly aligned with the mating connector before you apply pressure to seat the connector.
14. Connect one end of the new ribbon cable to your computer's IDE controller or the IDE
connector on the motherboard. Connect the middle connector or the other end to your
existing CD-ROM drive. Make sure both are seated correctly and then apply some
pressure to completely secure them in place.
15. Connect the IDE ribbon cable (either the end or the middle connector) to your new
CD-RW 3-in-1 drive. Please note that your CD-RW drive has an arrow on the right side
of the IDE connector (see illustration below). This arrow should point to the red line
on the IDE cable. Your CD-RW drive is designed to accept the IDE ribbon only at its
correct orientation. Do not force the ribbon in if you feel it does not fit the slot. Refer
back to step 10 and repeat the process described.
