Installing the Drive
Step 1. Opening the Computer
1. Turn off the computer and all attached peripherals.
2. Unplug the power cords for the computer and all attached
devices.
3. Open the computer.
1MB equals approximately 1000000 bytes, and KB equals approximately 1000 bytes.
 Copyright IBM Corp. 1997 1-1

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.)
1-2 IBM 24X MAX IDE CD-ROM Drive

If there is a second device on the IDE port, check that the device
is configured as slave.
If you are configuring the drive as slave, set the jumper to the
slave.2/device setting. Check that the other device on the IDE
port is configured as master (or master with slave present).
If you are configuring the drive as cable-select, set the jumper to
the cable-select.3/device setting. If there is another device on
the IDE port, check that the device is also configured for
cable-select.
Step 5. Mounting the Drive in the Bay
Attention: Be sure to use the M3 x 5 mm mounting screws in
the option package when you are driving screws directly into the
drive. Using screws that are too long can damage the drive.
Mount the CD-ROM drive horizontally or vertically in the computer.
1. Slide the drive into the bay.
2. Align the drive-bay screw holes with the threaded holes in the
drive housing or mounting bracket. Be sure to use the M3 x 5
mm mounting screws provided with this drive. Using the wrong
size screws might damage the drive.
3. Thread the screws in lightly to secure the drive in the bay.
Usually two screws are used on each side. Check the alignment
and tighten the screws to secure the drive. Do not over tighten.
Step 6. Attaching the Cables to the Drive
1. Connect the cables to the CD-ROM drive as follows:
a. Attach a 40-pin IDE-cable connector.2/to the IDE connector
on the drive. Align the cable so that the color-coded edge is
closest to the power cable connector.3/. Use the IDE cable
provided with this option if there is no cable attached to the
IDE port or if there is only one device connector on the IDE
cable.
b. Attach a four-pin power-cable connector.3/to the device
dc-power connector.
c. If you have a sound adapter, connect one of the audio cable
connectors.1/to the device audio-out connector. Use the
audio cable that has a connector that fits your sound adapter
and save the other cable in case you use a different sound
adapter in the future.
Part 1: Quick Installation Guide 1-3

Step 7. Completing the Hardware Installation
1. Be sure that the drive is securely mounted and the connectors are
firmly attached.
2. Be sure the cables do not interfere with the computer cover and
do not block the power-supply fan blades or air-flow paths.
3. Reinstall the computer cover.
4. Reconnect all devices and check any devices that might have
become disconnected, such as the keyboard, mouse, and monitor.
5. Plug all power cords into electrical outlets.
Step 8. Updating Your Computer Configuration.
Because you changed the hardware, the configuration-setup
information screen should display when you turn on your computer. If
the screen does not display, see your computer documentation for
information about accessing the configuration or setup utility program.
To see the configuration information for most IBM computers, press
F1 during startup when the graphic displays in the upper right corner
of the screen. When you have finished reviewing the information,
save the changes and exit.
Note: Some older computers with one IDE port might not
display the CD-ROM drive information when you review the
configuration-setup information. You still can use the CD-ROM
drive in this situation as long as you have properly completed the
installation.

Installation Requirements
Before you begin installing the drive, be sure you have everything you
need, such as:
Documentation
You might need the documentation that comes with your computer,
operating system, or IDE bus adapter if it is separate from the
computer.
Minimum Processor
IBM Personal Computer or compatible computer with an 80486
processor (or later version).
640 KB9 RAM (random-access memory) for DOS 3.3 (or later)
and 4 MB9 RAM for Windows 3.1 (or later).
3.5-inch, 1.44 MB or 2.88 MB diskette drive
IDE port and cable
The CD-ROM drive requires an IDE interface to your computer.
The IDE port is on the system board of the computer or on an
IDE bus adapter. Newer computers typically have two IDE ports
on the system board adjacent to one another. The primary IDE
port is usually connected to your hard disk drive. (If the interface
9When referring to hard-disk-drive capacity, KB means approximately 1000 bytes, MB means approximately 1000000 bytes; total user-accessible capacity may
vary depending on operating environment.
Part 2: Installation Guide 2-3

cable connector has 40 pins, your computer uses the IDE
architecture.)
– If your computer has one IDE port, you can attach up to two
devices.
– If your computer has a primary and a secondary IDE port,
you can attach up to two devices to each port for a total of
four devices.
For most computers, you can attach a maximum of two devices to
the IDE cable.
If you have a sound adapter installed, the adapter might have an
IDE connector that you can use to attach the CD-ROM drive.
The CD-ROM drive connection requires an available connector
on the IDE cable.
– If the computer has two IDE ports, examine the cable on
both ports for an available connector.
– Examine the cable attached to the IDE port. If the IDE
cable supports the attachment of only one device, you can
replace the cable with the one provided with this CD-ROM
drive (to provide a second IDE connector).
If you have more than one IDE port, attach hard disk drives to the
cable on the primary IDE port. Attach slower devices, such as
CD-ROM and tape drives, to the cable on the secondary port. Some
computers come with a dual-port, high-performance IDE controller.
Connecting the CD-ROM drive to the secondary IDE port provides
better operating system performance.
Check the user's guide for any device that will be connected to the
same port as the CD-ROM drive. Some devices, such as a high speed
tape drive, must not be installed on the same port as a CD-ROM drive.
2-4 IBM 24X MAX IDE CD-ROM Drive

Power connector
To provide power to the CD-ROM drive, you need an unused 4-pin
dc-power connector on the cable coming from the computer power

Part 2: Installation Guide 2-5

Installing the Drive
Step 1. Opening the Computer
1. Turn off the computer and all attached peripherals.
2. Unplug the power cords for the computer and all attached
devices.
3. Open the computer.
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 in the master position. If the
CD-ROM drive is the second drive on the port, set the
configuration jumper in 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.
2-6 IBM 24X MAX IDE CD-ROM Drive

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.)
If there is a second device on the IDE port, check that the device
is configured as slave.
If you are configuring the drive as slave, set the jumper to the
slave.2/device setting. Check that the other device on the IDE
port is configured as master (or master with slave present).
If you are configuring the drive as cable-select, set the jumper to
the cable-select.3/device setting. If there is another device on
the IDE port, check that the device is also configured for
cable-select.
If you need assistance in setting the configuration jumpers or need
additional information about the hard disk drive on the same IDE port
as the CD-ROM drive, refer to “Hard Disk Drive Manufacturers” on
page 3-20.
Step 5. Mounting the Drive in the Bay
Attention: Be sure to use the M3 x 5 mm mounting screws in
the option package when you are driving screws directly into the
drive. Using screws that are too long can damage the drive.
Mount the CD-ROM drive horizontally or vertically in the computer.
1. Slide the drive into the bay.
2. Align the drive-bay screw holes with the threaded holes in the
drive housing or mounting bracket. Be sure to use the M3 x 5
mm mounting screws provided with this drive. Using the wrong
size screws might damage the drive.
3. Thread the screws in lightly to secure the drive in the bay.
Usually two screws are used on each side. Check the alignment
and tighten the screws to secure the drive. Do not over tighten.

provided with this option if there is no cable attached to the
IDE port or if there is only one device connector on the IDE
cable.
b. Attach a four-pin power-cable connector.3/to the device
dc-power connector.
c. If you have a sound adapter, connect one of the audio cable
connectors.1/to the device audio-out connector. Use the
audio cable that has a connector that fits your sound adapter
and save the other cable in case you use a different sound
adapter in the future.
Step 7. Completing the Hardware Installation
To complete the hardware section of the CD-ROM drive installation:
1. Be sure that the drive is securely mounted and the connectors are
firmly attached.
