Step 7. Attaching the faceplates
This option kit includes two faceplates which conform to the curved
design of some computers. If your computer has a curved design, you
can attach one of the included faceplates so that the front of the
CD-ReWritable drive matches the exterior cabinet. Select the
faceplate that best fits your computer, and attach the faceplate after
you have mounted the CD-ReWritable drive in the appropriate bay.
Step 8. Updating your computer configuration
When you restart your computer, the configuration-setup information
screen might appear because you changed the hardware in your
computer. Some computers require you to make configuration choices
the first time you restart after installing a new device. If the screen
does not display, see your computer documentation for information
about how to access it. For most IBM computers, you can see the
configuration information during computer startup by pressing F1
when the configuration graphic displays in the upper right corner of
your screen. When you have finished reviewing the configuration
information, save the changes and exit.
Note: Some older computers with one IDE port might not
display the CD-ReWritable drive information when you review the
configuration-setup information. However, you can still use the
CD-ReWritable drive.
Step 9. Installing the Easy CD Creator/DirectCD
software
