Part 1: Installation guide
Product description
The IBM 40X-17X Internal IDE CD-ROM Drive can read a compact disc (CD)
containing approximately 680 MB1 of information. It is designed for installation in a
personal computer that uses the integrated drive electronics (IDE) or the enhanced IDE
architecture.
The CD-ROM drive delivers data up to 40 times the standard CD-ROM speed,
delivering data at up to 6000 KB2 per second. The drive reads compact discs meeting
the ISO-9660 and High-Sierra Group (HSG) standards. It also reads multiple-session,
extended architecture (XA) discs, such as the Kodak Photo CD.
In addition to this book, the option package includes:
40X-17X Internal IDE CD-ROM Drive
Two audio cables
Four mounting screws (M3 x 5 mm, slotted)
Two system faceplates
40X-17X Internal IDE CD-ROM Drive Option Diskette
IDE cable for connecting two IDE devices
Laser Safety Guide for CD-ROMs
Electrical Safety Guide
Contact your place of purchase if an item is missing or damaged. Be sure to retain
your proof of purchase. It might be required to receive warranty service.
The Option Diskette includes installation and support programs, such as:
Installation programs for all supported operating systems
IDE CD-ROM device drivers
Audio CD-player program for DOS
READ.ME file with additional installation information
Diagnostic program
Note: Before installing this product, refer to the Electrical Safety Guide included in
this option package for important safety information.
You can find information on how to get help, technical support, and warranty service
in Appendix C, “Help and service” on page 3-15. Before calling for technical
support, refer to Appendix B, “Problem solving” on page 3-8.
1MB equals approximately 1000000 bytes when referring to storage capacity.
2KB equals approximately 1024 bytes when referring to data transfer speeds.

Before you begin
Read the following information before you start your installation.
The installer of the drive will have to complete the following steps:
1. Determine which IDE port to use and the corresponding configuration setting
2. Set the configuration jumper on the drive (and possibly make changes to the
configuration settings of other devices)
3. Physically install the drive in a drive bay
4. Configure the system
5. Install a device driver
If you do not understand these procedures, or are unsure about your ability to perform
all the procedures described, have a qualified computer technician install the CD-ROM
drive for you, or call an IBM technical-support representative.
System requirements
Before you begin installing the drive, be sure your computer meets the following
system requirements.
Minimum processor: 80486
Minimum RAM: 4 MB3
3.5-inch, 1.44 MB or 2.88 MB diskette drive
Available IDE connection
Available internal power connection
Available drive bay
One of the following operating systems:
– Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 or later
– Microsoft Windows 95 or Windows 98
– OS/2 3.0 or later
Handling instructions
To protect your CD-ROM drive during installation, observe the following precautions.
Handle the drive with care. Dropping or jarring the drive can damage the
components inside the drive housing.
Keep the CD-ROM drive in its antistatic bag until you are ready to install the
drive in your computer. Limit your movement. Movement can cause static
electricity buildup.
Do not force insertion of the power cable. Doing so might damage the connector
or the drive.
3When referring to memory storage capacity, MB means approximately 1000000 bytes; total
user-accessible capacity may vary depending on operating environment.

Installing the Drive
Follow these steps to install the CD-ROM drive into your computer.
Step 1. Opening the computer
1. Turn off the computer and all attached devices.
2. Unplug the power cords for the computer and all attached devices.
3. Remove the cover from the computer.
Step 2. Unpacking the drive
1. Before opening the bag the drive is packed in, touch it to an unpainted metal
surface for at least two seconds. This will drain the static electricity from the
package and your body.
2. Remove the drive from the bag.
If you must put the drive down, place the antistatic bag on a flat padded surface,
such as a magazine, and place the drive on the bag with the component side
facing up.
Step 3. Selecting an IDE port
Newer computers typically have two IDE ports, each of which can support two
devices. Typically, the primary IDE port connects to your hard disk drive, and the
other IDE port is the secondary port. The IDE port and the cable position that you
select determine which configuration jumper setting you will use for the drive.
If you have two IDE ports, connect the CD-ROM drive to the secondary IDE port
on your system board (sometimes called the motherboard) or IDE adapter. If the
CD-ROM drive is the only device on the secondary IDE port, use the master
configuration setting. If the CD-ROM drive is the second device on the
secondary port, use the slave configuration setting.
If you must attach the CD-ROM drive to the primary IDE port (the same port as
a hard disk drive or other fast device), use the slave setting for the CD-ROM
drive and the master setting for the faster device. In some instances, you might
need to change the hard disk drive configuration setting to
master-with-slave-present when attaching a slave device on the same cable. For
further information on setting configuration jumpers on other devices, refer to the
documentation that comes with your computer or with the device in question.
