Tools You’ll Need
Locate the following items, before you begin to install the drive:
■ A medium-size Phillips screwdriver
■ Your computer system’s manual (you may need to look up
information about the location of your IDE connectors)
Before You Begin
Before you begin the installation you need to decide whether you will be
installing the CD-Writer Plus in an empty drive bay, or whether you will
be replacing an existing CD-ROM with the CD-Writer Plus drive. To
install the CD-Writer Plus:
■ In an empty drive bay, see page 1-3.
■ As a replacement for an existing CD-ROM, see page 1-20.
NOTE: In the Toshiba Infinita and IBM Aptiva computers, install the CD-
Writer Plus in an empty drive bay, and not as a replacement for an existing CD-
ROM drive. Because of the fit between the CD-Writer Plus and these computers
it may not be possible to replace the CD-ROM drive with the CD-Writer Plus
drive.
