Precautions ■ Installation • Avoid placing the drive in a location subject to: – high humidity – high temperature – excessive dust – mechanical vibration – direct sunlight. We recommend to use the drive in a horizontal or vertical position. Do not use it in a tilted position. ■ Operation • Do not move the drive during operation. This may cause it to malfunction during reading or writing.
Example of System Setup To use the CD-R/RW device, the following components are required: • Computer (IBM-PC/AT, HP Vectra, or equivalent) • IDE Host adapter (ATA compliant) • Floppy disc drive • IDE Interface cable (40 to 40 pin flat cable) • Software (Device driver, utilities) Installing the Drive in Your Computer This section provides an example of instruction for installing the CD-R/RW drive unit into your personal computer using the IDE Host Adaptor (ATA-Compliant).
Setting the Jumpers Set the jumpers on the rear of the drive in accordance with the configuration of your computer system. The jumpers are preset at the “MASTER” position as illustrated at the factory. CSEL SLAVE MASTER Notes for configuration jumpers: • Designation of the Drive Number is generally set by inserting a jumper pin on either the MASTER or the SLAVE pin. • When the CRX100E is daisy-chained with a Hard Disk Drive on an IDE Card, set the Hard Disk Drive as MASTER and the CRX100E as SLAVE.
Opening the Computer 1 If your computer has its rear side covered by a plastic panel attached with plastic hook pad, pull it off. 2 Remove the cover mounting screws. 3 Remove the cover of the computer. Mounting the Drive If mounting rails are necessary, attach them to the drive in the same way as your floppy disk drive and slide the drive into the lower drive bay. If mounting rails are not required in your system, screw the drive in place. Slide the drive into the lower bay.
Connecting the Drive Connect the drive to the computer with the following connectors: • DC INPUT connector • AUDIO OUT connector (if you plan to connect audio equipment) • INTERFACE CONNECTOR.
