The following steps must be performed to properly install your DVD-ROM:
Jumper Settings
 Figure
1.Jumper Location |
A block of mode select jumpers are located on
the rear of the DVD-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

SCSI ID
- All SCSI devices attached to your computer are assigned a SCSI-ID number from 0
to 7. Your DVD-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 DVD-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 OFF mode, the parity bit check
function on the SCSI data bus is activated which enhances data bus reliability. Therefore,
the jumper should remain in the OFF mode. |
| 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 DVD-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 DVD-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
DVD-ROM inside your Computer
Now that you have set the jumpers,
you are ready to install your DVD-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
DVD-ROM is replacing a CD-ROM, remove CD-ROM presently installed in your system.
Your Toshiba DVD-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 DVD-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 DVD-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 DVD-ROM to the SCSI Interface connector that the CD-ROM was connected to.
If DVD-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 DVD-ROM.
If DVD-ROM is addition to a CD-ROM
daisy-chain the DVD-ROM drive with a custom built SCSI interface cable (not supplied with
kit). See Daisy-Chaining secion for more information. |

4.Installing SCSI Interface Cable |
| Power Cable - Connect an internal computer power supply
cable to the power socket at the back of the DVD-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 5.Installing Power Cable |

| 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 DVD-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 DVD-ROM (see DVD-ROM Back Panel
photo for location). Refer to the instructions which came with your sound card for details
on any sound-driver software required. |

6.Installing Audio Cable |
| Daisy-Chaining - If the DVD-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 DVD-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 DVD-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 DVD-ROM to tip of screw). Replace computer cover and all outer screws. |

| Software Driver -
Toshiba’s DVD-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. |
