Since FISC CDM is equipped with 4 IDE channels that can host 8
EIDE HD or CD-ROM drives, you might use 9-bay tower cases. If
you purchase a FISC CDM Tower, the FISC CDM controller has
already been properly pre-installed into the bay in the center of the
tower while the IDE flat cables have also been plugged onto the
FISC CDM controller. All you have to do is to connect your EIDE
HD or CD-ROM drives to the IDE cables. Please refer to page 8 —
Connecting CD-ROM Drives.
For instructions on installing the FISC CDM into a third party 9-bay
tower case, please refer to the power and fan requirements stated in
Appendix A — Technical Specifications and the following
installation steps.
Caution!
In order to avoid the possible risk of electrical shock
and any other injury, please disconnect the power
before installation.
1. Remove the screws at the rear of the tower that secure the
cover of the tower to the tower chassis. Remove the cover
of the tower.
2. Slide the FISC CDM controller into the fifth bay (in the
center of the tower). Refer to the following illustration.

3. Secure the FISC CDM controller to the Tower chassis with
the screws included in the package.
Please note that the length of the screws must not
exceed 4 mm. Otherwise, the FISC CDM controller
may be damaged.
4. Connect the power cord to FISC CDM. The power
connector of the FISC CDM is a standard PC 4 pin power
supply connector (12 and 5 V DC). See Figure 2-2.
Before connecting the power cord to FISC CDM, be
aware that Pin 4 (+5V) of power cord connector is
next to UTP connector. Please refer to Appendix C
Jumper Settings and Connectors.
5. Connect one end of the supplied UTP cable to the RJ 45
connector on the FISC CDM. See Figure 2-2.

6. Connect the network connection board to FISC CDM using
the other end of the UTP cable and then mount the
connection board on the back of the CD-ROM tower. Refer
to Figure 2-3.

The ideal air flow circulation of a FISC CDM tower is
through the front of the tower to the rear. Therefore,
the front panel of FISC CDM must not be blocked or
shielded. If you are using a tower with a front door,
the tower must have ventilation holes on both sides of
the door.

In addition to the on-board 8MB of RAM, the FISC CDM comes
with two SIMM sockets, which allow you to increase the total
memory capacity. Use standard 8MB, 16MB or 32MB EDO SIMM
modules to upgrade the memory of the FISC CDM.
Installing a SIMM
1. Remove the four screws that secure the top cover of the
FISC CDM. Remove the top cover.
2. Locate the 72-pin SIMM sockets.
3. Firmly insert the module into the socket at an angle as in
Figure 2-4, #1. Make sure that the SIMM is seated evenly.
4. Press the top edge of the SIMM module in the direction of
#2 in the illustration until the retaining latches click into
place. Refer to the following illustration:

A single FISC CDM can host up to 8 EIDE HD or CD-ROM drives
using the 4 IDE flat cables which are included in your FISC CDM
package.
To comply with ATA-4 specification, the following
restrictions should be applied to the IDE cables used
with the FISC CDM: the total length of a single IDE
cable shall not exceed 0.46m (18 inch); and the cable
capacitance shall not exceed 35pf.
To connect IDE HD or CD-ROM drives to FISC CDM, please refer
to the following steps:
1. Connect one end of the IDE cables to the FISC CDM IDE
connectors. The 4 IDE channel numbers are indicated
besides the connectors on the main board of the FISC CDM.
