Connect secondary IDE BUS cable to the DVD Writeable drive, assuring that pin
1 of the cable (side with red stripe) is connected to pin 1 on the drive.
• If the DVD Writeable drive is the only drive connected on the secondary
IDE BUS cable: connect drive to the last set of pins on IDE BUS cable.
• If there is a device (i.e. CD-ROM) connected to the secondary IDE BUS
cable: connect the DVD Writeable drive to the open middle connector. The
DVD Writeable drive should then be jumpered to SL (slave) position.
If the DVD Writeable drive is to be the slave on the Primary BUS: connect the
DVD Writeable drive to the open connector on the primary IDE BUS cable. The
DVD Writeable drive should be jumpered to the SL (slave) position. Note: the
primary IDE BUS cable, in most cases, will be connected to your hard drive. The
hard drive will be the Master on the primary BUS.
Power Cable - Inside your computer system, locate an unused power supply cable.
Connect the power cable to the power socket at the back of the DVD Writeable
drive. One side of the plug has chamfered edges, so the power connector fits only
one way so be sure to insert the DC power plug in the correct direction. Push plug
completely into the socket making sure the plug fits correctly.
Audio Cable - Connecting your DVD Writeable drive to your sound card allows
you to play audio CDs on your computer (speakers or headphones are also needed).
If the DVD Writeable drive is in addition to a CD-ROM: If you choose to have
both a CD-ROM and DVD Writeable drive installed in your system, in most cir-
cumstances, only one audio cable can be used (there are some sound cards that
will allow you to have two audio connections). You must decide which device you
would like to hear audio from and connect the audio cable from the sound card to
the CD-ROM or DVD Writeable drive (DVD audio is transmitted through the data
cable, not the audio cable).
If the DVD Writeable drive is to be the only CD-ROM device in your system:
• If replacing a CD-ROM that had an audio cable connection: connect the DVD
Writeable drive to the audio cable that the CD-ROM was connected. The Audio
cable connects to the analog audio connector at the left rear of the DVD
Writeable drive (see Cable Location photo on page 3 for location).
• If you do not have an audio cable presently in your system: connect the DVD
Writeable drive using the audio cable that was included with this kit. Connect
one end to your sound card and the other end to the analog audio connector at
the left rear of the drive (see Cable Location photo on page 3 for location).
Refer to the instructions which came with your sound card for details on any
sound-driver software required.
