CHAPTER 3: Hardware Installation
3.3 Connecting SCSI CD-ROM Drives
Each CD-ROM drive manufacturer
uses a different type of audio-cable
connector. If the cable included with
our kit will not connect to your PC
Image II, call Black Box.

ETTINGS
Your CD-ROM drive’s ID numbers
are configured at the factory with
default settings. Refer to your
CD-ROM drive’s documentation
for altering the settings, or for
troubleshooting information.
Before you start, the CD-ROM drive
must be properly installed and
connected to your power supply
within your PC’s case. Refer to your
CD-ROM drive’s manual for these
steps. Follow the descriptions below
for connecting your CD-ROM drive
to your sound card. If necessary,
refer to the illustration for
connector locations.
In order to connect the Data Cable
and Audio Connector to the PC
Image II, you may have to tempo-
rarily remove any card to the
immediate right of your bracket
adapter.

Connect one end of the 50-pin SCSI
(ribbon-type) cable to your PC
Image II’s CD-ROM connector. Pin 1
on this connector is on the upper
right corner of the connector. Make
sure that Pin 1 on your SCSI cable
(red stripe) is connected to this pin.
Connect the other end of the SCSI
cable to your CD-ROM drive.

ONNECTING THE
A

C
ABLE
Attach one of the 5-pin connectors
on the Internal Audio connector
cable to the PC Image II’s
connector. The audio cable and this
connector are keyed so that the
cable will plug in only one way.
Connect the other end of the audio
cable to the CD-ROM drive’s audio
connector. When all of these steps
are complete, your CD-ROM drive
should be connected to your PC’s
power supply and to your PC Image
II through the data cable and audio
cable.
Do not plug the CD-Audio
connector into the PC-speaker jack.
You don’t need to change the SCSI
ID on your CD-ROM drive unless
you connect additional SCSI devices
to your PC Image II. If you want to
connect other devices in addition to
your CD-ROM drive, refer to your
CD-ROM drive’s documentation for
SCSI ID settings.
