This chapter contains detailed instructions to guide
you through the installation of your new CD-ROM drive.
To install the drive, your PC must have at least one
free IDE interface connector. If not, you need to go
to a computer retailer and buy an IDE controller card
(an Enhanced IDE controller card is needed if your PC
already has a one-port IDE controller). See
Appendix
A
for a brief introduction to IDE connections.
3.1 Installing the CD-ROM Drive
Here’s how to install your CD-ROM drive:
1. Adjust the Master/Slave jumpers on the back of
the CD-ROM drive as necessary. (The factory
setting of the slave mode meets most people’s
needs and normally does not need to be changed.
See
Appendix A
.)
2. Disconnect the power to your PC and remove your
PC's casing.
3. Slide the CD-ROM drive into the mounting rails
of a 5.25” drive bay.
