The supplied audio cable is a SoundBlaster type cable. If you have a different sound card, you will need to contact the sound card manufacturer to obtain the proper cable for that card.
③ Master / Slave / CSEL Jumper
These three jumpers are used to set the CD-ROM Drive to either a Master,
Slave, or CSEL drive
Refer to section HARDWARE INSTALLATION.
④ Interface Connector
This 40-pin connector is used to transfer and control signals between the CD-ROM Drive and your PC.
Connect the 40-pin IDE cable in your PC to this connector.
⑤ Power-in Connector
Attach a power cable from the computer to this connector.
This section describes how to install your CD-ROM drive into your computer.
WARNING:
To protect the CD-ROM Drive, your computer, and peripheral devices from damage, turn off their power before installing the drive.
Note: If you are not comfortable about opening your PC and attempting the CD-ROM drive installation, many local computer shops can perform this service for a reasonable cost.
This installation assumes you have a PC with an available connector on an IDE interface cable. If your PC has an IDE hard drive, there is usually an available connector in the middle of the same cable that attaches from the motherboard (or controller card) IDE connector to the hard drive. If the last sentence does not describe your system, you may need to purchase an IDE controller card to install this CD-ROM drive. Inspecting and knowing your PC system will make your installation easier and less time consuming.
A final note before installation: The cable connecting to your floppy disk drive is not an IDE cable. Do not attempt to attach the CD-ROM drive to this cable.
If the CD-ROM drive is to be connected to the same cable as the hard drive, be sure that the hard drive is set as master. Hard drives can be set as single, master, or slave. Check your hard drive owner's manual or contact the hard drive manufacturer for correct jumper settings.
- You will see three pairs of pins and a jumper (cap) at the back of the CD-ROM drive. This jumper is used to set the CD-ROM Drive as a CSEL, MASTER, or SLAVE device in your PC. Examples of how the jumper can be placed are shown in Figure 3 below.

Figure 3. Setting MASTER / SLAVE Jumper
- Move the jumper (clip on one pair of pins) from its default factory position (SLAVE), to CSEL or MASTER as needed (see the following description for the setup that matches your system), using the above diagram to place the jumper.
WHEN USING A PRIMARY IDE CONTROLLER
Most PCs provide one IDE cable to support two devices (one for hard disk, the other for a second hard disk or a CD-ROM drive). This IDE cable originates either on the motherboard or on a controller card. This controller is termed the primary IDE controller, and the hard disk attached that contains the operating system for boot-up is set up as the Primary Master. Your CD-ROM drive should be set to the Slave mode.

Figure 4. Primary Controller system Configuration
Note:
Many older 1X and 2X CD-ROM drives used a 40 pin controller card that were not IDE compatible. These were proprietary interface cards for use with a particular model CD-ROM Drive. Many older Sony, Panasonic, and Mitsumi drives used 40 pin proprietary interface cards. If you are upgrading from an older CD-ROM drive, your new CD-ROM will not work on a proprietary interface card. You will need to buy a secondary IDE controller card.
WHEN USING A SECONDARY CONTROLLER
- If your PC has an additional IDE controller on the motherboard or on a system slot, each IDE device connected to the secondary IDE controller must also be set to the Master or Slave mode. If you are connecting your CD-ROM drive to a secondary IDE card, and it is the 1st device you are connecting to it, then set the CD-ROM jumper to the Master position. If it is the 2nd device, set the CD-ROM jumper to the Slave position.
- Depending on the IDE card and whether the CD-ROM drive is a master or slave unit, the diagram below represents the different ways in which the CD-ROM may be configured in your PC. The table below the diagram shows the possible Jumper placements that would correspond to each of the different configurations shown.

Figure 5. Possible System Configuration
If you have the system with two IDE channels (in the case of an enhanced IDE PC), do not install an IDE controller card in your system.
| IDE Controller | CD-ROM Connection | Jumper Placement |
| Primary (1st IDE card) | Slave(Hard disk is Master) | SLAVE (default) |
| Secondary (2nd IDE card) | Master(1st device on 2nd IDE Card) | MASTER |
| Secondary (2nd IDE card) | Slave(2nd device on 2nd IDE Card) | SLAVE (default) |
| PC Manual says use CSEL | CSEL |
MOUNTING THE CD-ROM DRIVE

Step 3. Remove the front panel from an unused half-height slot.

Figure 7. Mounting the Drive
Step 4. Slide the CD-ROM drive into the half-height slot, and secure the drive in place with screws and brackets.
Note: If there is too much space between the sides of the drive and the drive bay, you may need to install spacer brackets, available at your local computer store.

Figure 8. Connecting the Power Supply Cable
Step 5. Push the power supply cable connector firmly into the power in connector.

Step 6. Connect the 40-pin IDE Cable to the back of the CD-ROM Drive. Please make sure that the red edge of the IDE Cable is connected to Pin 1 on the CD-ROM Drive.
CONNECTING AN AUDIO CABLE

If you want to connect audio equipment or a sound card to the CD-ROM drive, use an audio cable to connect the drive to the sound device.

Note: This CD-ROM Drive can be used vertically.
To use the drive vertically, open the drawer and put a disc on to the 3 disc hooks. Use only standard 12cm discs.
- Do not touch the unlabeled side of the disc.
This section covers installation and setup for several operating systems. Read the entire section and select the part for your operating system.
THE SET UP PROCESS
The INSTALL program performs the following functions.
- Allows the user to select the target disk drive where CD-ROM device driver files will be set-up.
- Unless modified by the user, the INSTALL program searches the target disk for directory(\CDROM); if it is not found, the directory(\CDROM) is created.
- Copies the CD-ROM device driver file named GSCDROM.SYS, the Microsoft CD-ROM Extension file named MSCDEX.EXE, and the utility files to the specified directory.
- Modifies your CONFIG.SYS file to list the location and name of the device driver.
- Modifies your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to load MSCDEX.
Terminates and returns control to the user.
LIST OF FILES TO BE INSTALLED IN YOUR PC
*MSCDEX.EXE
Microsoft MS-DOS CD-ROM Extension software, which enables the computer to access the CD-ROM drive.
- GSCDROM.SYS
CD-ROM device driver.
- EJECT.EXE
Software eject program which can eject the CD tray.
*CLOSE.EXE
Software close program which can close the CD tray.
RUNNING THE INSTALL PROGRAM (DOS INSTALLATION)
Step 1. Insert the CD-ROM device driver install diskette into the appropriate drive.
Step 2. Go to the floppy drive by typing A: or B: at the DOS prompt, as appropriate.
Step 3. Type the word INSTALL and press [ENTER].
Step 4. The INSTALL program will begin loading. When loading is complete, the INSTALL program identification will appear on the screen.
Step.5. Follow the instructions on the screen.
