INTRODUCTION
CD-WRITER 5232IM is a half-height CD-ReWritable drive of standard
IDE interface. It supports maximum 52x speed writing ability on CD-R
discs, 32x speed on CD-RW discs and 52x speed reading performance.
The drive backs up all writing modes and different CD formats and it
automatically recognizes the media placed in the drive, whether a CD, a
CD-R or a CD-RW. With the bundled CD-RW mastering software, CD-
WRITER 5232IM is an ideal model for creating customized audio and
data CDs, and for archiving or distributing big files to achieve data
interchange and backup.
Here are some important features of CD-WRITER 5232IM:
♦ 8X, 16X, 24X, 32X, 40X, 48X and 52X writing speed on CD-R
media
♦ 4X, 10X, 12X, 16X, 20X, 24X and 32X writing speed on CD-RW
media
♦ Adopts Buffer Underrun Prevention technology (MTKSuperLink)
♦ Supports MultiRead function
♦ Supports writing modes of TAO, DAO, SAO and packet writing
♦ Large internal buffer: 2MB
♦ Advanced dust-sealed design
♦ Low power consumption
♦ Firmware upgrade possibility via Flash Memory

INSTALLATION
Host Interface Connections
Most current mainboard models have two IDE ports (primary and
secondary) which can connect two IDE cables. Two IDE cables
allow you to connect up to four devices, but it is recommended that
you separate IDE ports for your hard drive and your CD-ReWritable
drive. This will ensure that your hard drive’s performance and speed
won’t be affected by having the CD-RW drive on the same cable.
If you connect only one device on the cable, you can set the jumper
as “master” or “slave”.
If you connect two devices (e.g. CD-ROM & CD-RW) on the same
cable, set different jumpers for each device (CD-ROM as “master”,
CD-RW as “slave” and vice versa.) The same rule applies to the
connection of having your hard disk and one other device on the
same cable.

You may consider one of the two ways recommended below to
connect your drive.
♦ To get the most stable performance for the CD-RW drive to write:
Primary IDE Master: Hard Disk
Primary IDE Slave: CD-ROM Drive
Secondary IDE Master: CD-RW drive
♦ For best hard disk performance:
Primary IDE Master: Hard Disk
Secondary IDE Master: CD-ROM drive
Secondary IDE Salve: CD-RW drive
Hardware Installation
1. Turn off the power to the computer system and all peripheral
devices.
2. Disconnect all cables from the back of your computer, and then
remove the cover from the computer.
3. Insert the CD-ReWritable drive into one of the vacant 5.25" drive
bays and secure it with screws to your PC.
 In order to prevent interference between the CD-ReWritable drive and the
computer, please make sure to mount the drive using all four mounting
screws.
4. Connect the 40-pin IDE cable from one of the IDE ports on the
mainboard to the 40-pin connector of your CD-ReWritable drive.
Also, connect the power supply cable to the back of the CD-
ReWritable drive.

CD-WRITER 5232IM
 The red-edge of the IDE Cable must be connected to Pin 1 on the CD-
ReWritable drive.
5. If you have a sound card that can be connected to this CD-
ReWritable drive, you can connect the drive (as Audio-out) and the
sound card (as Audio-in) with a 4-pin audio cable. (See figure above.)
If your mainboad is integrated with built-in sound system, plug the 4-
pin audio cable into the CD-IN connector on the mainboard as
Audio-in.
6. Re-attach the cover of your computer, and reconnect all power cords.

Driver Installation
Windows Environment
CD-WRITER 5232IM is a PnP device, and Windows 98/ME/2000/XP

Add New Hardware. The Add New Hardware window appears.
2. The program will automatically search for your new drive and
load the appropriate driver.
Software Installation
The bundled mastering software gives you the complete solution for
making audio/data CDs right from your desktop. It allows you to copy
files from your computer to a recordable compact disc. In addition,
the audio CDs you create can be played in your home or car CD
player. For the CD-RW media, you can write and erase data on the
CD as you do with a floppy disk.
