Jumper Illustation

Figure 1.Mode Select Jumper

CS Drive is configured using host interface signal CSEL
SL Configures drive as Slave
MA Configures drive as Master (default mode)

In most installations, jumper should remain in the MA position (factory default). It is recommended that you install your DVD-R/-RW Combo drive only on the secondary IDE BUS. If you are installing on primary IDE BUS, your hard drive would then be the Master, and you should set your CD-RW/DVD-ROM to the Slave position (SL)

Your Toshiba DVD-R/-RW Combo drive 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-R/-RW Combo drive 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 the DVD-R/-RW Combo drive's interface connector:

If you are replacing your CD-ROM:
connect DVD-R/-RW Combo drive to the BUS Cable connector that the CD-ROM was connected to.

If DVD-R/-RW Combo drive is not replacing a CD-ROM or is an addition to a CD-ROM:
connect DVD-R/-RW Combo drive to an open connector on the secondary IDE BUS cable (not supplied with drive).

If DVD-R/-RW Combo drive is to be slave on Primary BUS:
connect DVD-R/-RW Combo drive 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 DVD-R/-RW Combo drive. 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. 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 install a CD/DVD audio cable. Toshiba's DVD-R/-RW Combo drives use a standard 4-pin 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 DVD-R/-RW Combo drive (see DVD-R/-RW Combo drive Back Panel photo for location). Refer to the instructions that came with your sound card for details on any sound-driver software required.
