CD-ROM Hardware Installation
Prepare Your Computer for Installation
Step 1.
Before working on your computer, make sure the power to the computer and any related
equipment is turned off.
Step 2.
While the cables are still attached to your computer, you may want to label them so you
are sure to reconnect them properly when the installation process is complete.
Step 3.
Disconnect all cables and connectors from the back of your computer. Some cables may
be attached to their connectors by small screws. Make sure to unscrew any secured
cables before attempting to disconnect the cable from the back of the computer.
Step 4.
You are now ready to remove the cover from your computer. Generally, several screws
must be removed to take the computer cover off. Place the screws in a container so they
do not get lost. If you are working on a tower-style computer, you may want to lie it on
its side with the open side facing up.

Note: Each manufacturer’s computer case may be different. If you are unsure how to remove
the case cover, consult your computer owner’s guide.
Setting Master or Slave Jumpers
Before you start, please check the rear panel of the MagicSpin CD-ROM drive. There are three
pairs of jumpers, CS (CSEL), SL (Slave) and MA (Master). Use a jumper cap to set the device to
CS, SL or MA mode corresponding to your PC configuration (Figure 1).
Note: The default setting is SL (Slave).
