The following
steps must be performed to properly install your CD-ROM:
Jumper Settings
 Figure
1.Jumper Location
top of page |
A block of mode select jumpers
are located on the rear of the CD-ROM. If a jumper covers both pins on the jumper
block, it is ON; if there is no jumper or only one of the pins is covered, the jumper is
OFF. The jumper settings include SCSI ID, Parity, Termination, Eject, Test and Power
Supply.  Figure 2.Jumper Block
|
SCSI
ID - All SCSI devices attached to your computer are assigned a SCSI-ID
number from 0 to 7. Your CD-ROM’s SCSI ID must be set so that its ID number does not
conflict with any other device’s SCSI-ID in your system. In most cases, your CD-ROM
will be set to SCSI ID 4 at the factory. Also note that your SCSI interface card in most
cases has a SCSI ID of 7. This following chart (figure 3) shows the jumper settings for
the eight possible ID numbers.
Figure 3.SCSI ID Examples |
 |
| Parity
- In the ON mode, the parity bit check function on the SCSI data bus is
activated which enhances data bus reliability. |
| Terminator
ON/OFF - This jumper turns termination power ON or OFF. If you are connecting more
than one SCSI device to your system, and the CD-ROM is not at the end of the chain, then
terminator jumper is not required. |
| PRV/ALW
- This jumper is used to inhibit the drive’s EJECT button. When the jumper is ON,
the EJECT button will not operate. |
| Test -
This setting selects the drive operation between normal CD-ROM and CD-Audio player mode.
When jumper is set to ON position, commands from the host computer are ignored. This
jumper is for test purposes only and should be set to OFF for proper CD-ROM function. |
| Power
Supply - Toshiba SCSI CD-ROM drives can supply power to other equipment on
the SCSI BUS. When the jumper is ON, the drive will supply termination power. If
you’re not sure if any other device supplies termination power, it is fine to leave
the jumper ON. |

Placing CD-ROM inside your Computer
Now that you have set
the jumpers, you are ready to install your CD-ROM inside your computer.
 |
Important
Note: Disconnect power from your computer system before beginning installation. |
Remove computer
cover and faceplate if required. Refer to your computer system’s manual for removal
information. If CD-ROM is replacing a CD-ROM, remove CD-ROM presently installed in your
system.
Your
Toshiba CD-ROM can be placed in any free half-height drive slot at the front of your
computer. (It can be mounted horizontally or vertically.)
Carefully
start sliding the CD-ROM into the opening with the disc tray facing the front of the
computer. Before you push the drive all the way in you will need to connect the SCSI
Interface cable, Audio cable and the Power cable on the back of the drive.

Connecting Cables
SCSI Interface Cable (not supplied
with drive) - The internal SCSI interface cable is connect to your SCSI host adapter
card and fits into the socket on the back of your CD-ROM. The stripe or red-colored side
of the ribbon cable connects to pin 1 of the drive's SCSI connector which is found next to
the drive's power connector. Carefully push the SCSI connector into the socket, making
sure it fits snugly.
If you are replacing your CD-ROM:
connect CD-ROM to the SCSI Interface connector that the older CD-ROM was connected
to. If CD-ROM is not
replacing a CD-ROM
connect an internal SCSI Interface cable from your SCSI host adapter card to the SCSI
connector found on the rear of your CD-ROM.
If CD-ROM
is addition to a CD-ROM
daisy-chain the CD-ROM drive with a custom built SCSI interface cable (not supplied with
kit). See Daisy-Chaining secion for more information. |

Power Cable - Connect an internal
computer power supply cable to the power socket at the back of the CD-ROM. One side
of the plug has chamfered edges, so the power connector fits only one way. Push plug
completely into the socket making sure the plug fits correctly. Figure

Audio Cable (optional) - If you
have a sound card and speakers, and would like to play audio CDs on your computer, you
will need to get a sound cable. Contact our small parts supplier, AMC at 888/262-9700. Sound
cables are made for the sound card you are using and the CD-ROM to which you are
connecting. Make sure you have this information when purchasing a sound cable. The sound
cable connects to your sound card at one end and the other end connects to the digital
audio connector at the left rear of the CD-ROM (see CD-ROM
Back Panel photo for location). Refer to the instructions which came with your sound
card for details on any sound-driver software required. |

- If the CD-ROM you are installing is one of two or more SCSI devices you are
connecting to your system, you will need to use a custom built SCSI interface cable.
Remember that the terminator jumper on the CD-ROM drive must have the jumper installed
when the drive is the last device in the chain.

Completing Installation
| After you have connected all the necessary
cables, push the CD-ROM completely into the computer’s drive slot. Mount drive per
your computer’s instructions. The screw length should not exceed 3±0.5mm (measured
from outside surface of side or bottom of CD-ROM to tip of screw). Replace computer cover
and all outer screws. |

| Software Driver
- Toshiba’s CD-ROM Drive is "plug n’ play". In Windows, when you
apply power to your computer and boot-up, the system will recognize the new hardware and
prompt you in the installation of the SCSI driver. If during installation Windows
can not find the correct SCSI driver, contact your SCSI host adapter board manufacturer
for a copy of the software. |
