Step 2. Unpacking the Drive
1. Touch an unpainted metal surface for at least two seconds.
2. Touch the bag to an unpainted metal surface on the computer for
at least two seconds.
3. 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. If your computer has
two IDE ports, use the secondary IDE port to connect the CD-ROM
drive. Typically the secondary IDE port is adjacent to the primary
IDE port that connects to your hard disk drive. Based on which IDE
port you use and if there is another device on the port, determine the
configuration jumper setting for the drive.
If you have two IDE ports, connect the CD-ROM drive to the
secondary IDE port with the IDE cable that comes with your
drive. If the CD-ROM drive is the only device on the IDE port,
set the configuration jumper to the master position. If the
CD-ROM drive is the second drive on the port, set the
configuration jumper to the slave position.
If you must attach the CD-ROM drive to the same IDE port as a
faster device, such as a hard disk drive, configure the CD-ROM
drive as the slave and the hard disk drive as the master. In some
instances, the hard disk drive may require a master with slave
present jumper setting when the CD-ROM is configured as a
slave.
Some non-IBM computers support the cable-select setting, where
the position of the device on the cable determines whether a
device is master or slave. See the documentation that comes with
your computer to determine if your system supports this setting.
Step 4. Setting the Configuration Jumper
Configure the CD-ROM drive by placing one jumper over a set of
configuration pins.
If you are configuring the drive as master, set the jumper to the
master.1/device setting. (Master is the factory-shipped setting.)
