Installation Notes

Read the Installation Poster

The Quick-Start installation poster describes how to install your CD-

Writer Plus drive. Follow the instructions on the poster and refer to this

chapter of the User’s Guide if you need additional information about:

■How to set the CD-Writer Plus as Master or Slave

■How to find the IDE connectors on your computer

■How to connect the IDE data cable

■How to connect an audio cable

How to Set the CD-Writer Plus as Master

or Slave

When you place Software Disc 1 in your CD-ROM and click Install CD-

Writer Plus the software analyzes your computer and makes a

recommendation about connecting the CD-Writer Plus hardware.

The Install Recommendation tells you whether the jumper on the CD-

Writer Plus should be set as Master or Slave for your computer.

Find the pairs of pins labeled Master, Slave, and Cable Select on the back

of the CD-Writer Plus. Notice that one pair of pins has a small plastic cap

or jumper. This jumper can be pulled off using your fingers, tweezers, or

needlenose pliers, and placed on a different pair of pins to change the

setting.

NOTE: The appearance of the back of your drive may vary slightly from the

illustrations. All installation steps are valid for your drive.

or Master

Check the back of the new drive and

make sure the jumper is on the right-

hand location (Master).

Don’t use

Cable Select

This is a jumper. You can pull

it off and place it on another

pair of pins to change the setting.

Slave

Check the back of the new drive and

make sure the jumper is on the center

location (Slave).

How to Find the IDE Connectors 5

How to Find the IDE Connectors

When you place Software Disc 1 in your CD-ROM and click Install CD-

Writer Plus the software analyzes your computer and makes a

recommendation about connecting the CD-Writer Plus hardware.

The Install Recommendation tells you whether the CD-Writer Plus

should be connected to the primary or secondary controller in your

computer.

If the Install Recommendation states that your CD-Writer Plus drive will share

the data cable with another device (such as a CD-ROM drive), follow the cable

already attached to the other device down to the circuit board in order to locate

the IDE controller that you need. If you find an extra connector along that

cable, simply attach that connector to the CD-Writer Plus drive.

Locate the recommended 40-pin IDE controller’s connector (primary or

secondary) on your computer’s motherboard.

The IDE connectors are on the motherboard, which is the largest circuit

board in your computer, taking up most of the bottom of a desktop

computer or the side of a tower computer.

IDE connectors are usually found in pairs and may look like any of the

following:

6How to Find the IDE Connectors

The IDE connectors may be hidden by some of the computer’s cables or

may be behind a drive.

Many computers have an IDE hard drive or CD-ROM that connects to

the motherboard through an IDE controller. The data cables on these

drives have the same width as the data cable included with your CD-

Writer Plus. If your computer has an IDE hard drive or CD-ROM drive,

you can follow the data cable from the back of one of those drives to find

the IDE controller.

Computer manufacturers use a wide variety of labels for IDE connectors.

Look on your computer’s circuit boards for printing identifying the

primary and secondary connectors, such as:

- PRI and SEC

- IDE-0 and IDE-1

- IDE-1 and IDE-2

- HD and CD-ROM (most common devices to be attached)

- PCI-IDE and ISA-IDE

You will see a variety of connectors

inside your computer that look similar

to the 40-pin connector, but have

more or fewer pins. Find the

connectors that are the correct size to

fit the cable that came in the box with

your drive.

How to Connect the IDE Data Cable 7

How to Connect the IDE Data Cable

When you place Software Disc 1 in your CD-ROM and click Install CD-

Writer Plus the software analyzes your computer and makes a

recommendation about connecting the CD-Writer Plus hardware.

The Install Recommendation tells you whether there will be one or two

devices connected to the IDE data cable.

CAUTION: Do not attach the CD-Writer Plus drive to a sound board’s IDE

controller.

Most data cable connectors are keyed to fit only one way. If your

connector is not keyed to fit only one way make sure the cable’s colored

edge is aligned with PIN-1 where it connects to the CD-Writer Plus drive

and where it connects to the IDE controller on the motherboard. Among

the labels you may find that identify PIN-1 on the motherboard are PIN1,

1 or a small triangle pointing to the pin.

CAUTION: Make sure that you are attaching the cable correctly! You must

locate PIN-1 on each connector and attach the cable so that the edge with the

color stripe is aligned with PIN-1. If the cable is attached incorrectly, your

computer may not boot up.

8How to Connect the IDE Data Cable

PIN-1

Look for a label identifying PIN-1 next

to the IDE connector. The data cable’s

colored edge is aligned with PIN-1 of

the IDE connector. This illustration

shows a specific computer. Yours may

look different. PIN-1 could be on

either side of the IDE connector.
