I. Hardware Installation

hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object on your system.
3. Remove the cover from your computer.
4. Set your drive as either the Master or Slave (default) drive by placing the jumper
cap on the desired jumper.
5. Insert the DVDROM Drive into one of the free 5.25-inch bays available for disk drives.
6. Connect an unused power supply cable to the back of your DVDROM Drive.
7. Connect the 40-pin IDE ribbon cable to the back of your DVDROM Drive. Make
sure that the red stripe on the cable is aligned to Pin 1 of the IDE connector.
8. If you have a sound card, connect the 4-pin CD audio cable to the DVDROM Drive’s
Analog Audio line out connector. If you do not have a sound card, plug earphones,

DVDROM’s front panel. Set the volume controls of your drive and powered/self-
amplified speakers to minimum before starting or restarting your computer.
