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 systems manual for removal information.
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 IDE BUS cable, Audio cable and the Power
cable on the back of the drive.

Connecting Cables
IDE
BUS Cable (not supplied with drive) - Your computer system
should have a primary and secondary IDE BUS, cable with your Hard Drive most likely being
the Master on the primary BUS. Connect BUS cable as follows, assuring that pin 1 of cable
(side with red stripe) is connected to pin 1 of CD-ROM interface connector:
If CD-ROM is not replacing another CD-ROM or is an addition to another
CD-ROM:
connect CD-ROM to an open connector on the secondary IDE BUS cable (not supplied with
drive). If CD-ROM is to be slave on Primary BUS:
connect CD-ROM to open connector on the primary IDE BUS cable (not supplied with drive). |

| 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. |

| 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. Toshiba's CD-ROMs use a standard 4-pin CD-ROM audio cable that can be
purchased from most local computer suppliers. 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. |
