Step1.
Prepare our computer for the drive installation: Fig 1
Save your files and as a precaution make sure your system back
up files are up to date. Now run your shut down procedures. Once
shut down is complete, turn off power and unplug your computer.
Discharge static electricity and remove your computer's cover.
CAUTION: Static electricit can damage our
computer's internal parts. To discharge static electricit , touch
a bare metal (unpainted) part of our computer chassis before
touching an thing inside our computer.
To install the drive into your computer, remove an available half-
height drive bay cover (half-height drive bays are 5.75" wide and
1.75" high)
If you do not have a half-height drive bay available you may
replace an existing drive. Choose the drive you want to replace
and remove it, putting aside any cables that you unplug and any
mounting hardware. These may be used later.
Step 2.
Set Up Drive Jumper: Fig 2
The Jumper is a small cap that fits over pairs of pins on the back
of the drive. You can pull off the jumper or replace it with
needle-nose pliers. The jumper is used to set the drive as a master
or slave drive on the IDE controller that you will connect to the
drive. Most systems now have two (2) IDE controllers. They are
referred to as primary and secondary. Each IDE controller can
have one or two devices. Find your IDE mother board controller
connectors by following the cable plugged into your Boot hard
drive to the mother board. The connector where your Boot hard
drive is plugged into on the mother board should be labeled P I
Fig. 2

or IDE 1. There should be a second connector close by labeled
SEC. or IDE 2. If there is a cable plugged into the SEC - IDE 2
connector follow it and identify the drives connected to it. From
Fig 3 A/B select the drive IDE configuration that you will use for
connecting the Kano DVD+ W/ drive to your system. We
recommend that all hard drives be connected on P I - IDE1 and
your optical drives (cd-rom , cdrw , dvd ext.) be connected on
SEC - IDE 2.
This configuration will give you the best performance. Now you
are ready to set your drive jumper. If your Kano DVD+ W will
be plugged into the first connector on the IDE 2 cable you will
place the jumper on the pins marked MASTE . If the drive will
be plugged into the last connector you will place the jumper on
the pins marked SLAVE Fig 2. If you have no drives connected to
the SEC – IDE 2 mother board connector use the cable supplied
in the Kano drive kit. If this cable is too short, purchase a longer
cable from your local computer store. Plug the end connecter on
the longest section into the SEC-IDE 2 motherboard connector.
Make sure that you plug the pin 1 of the cable connector into pin
1 of the mother board connector. The pin 1 end of the cable is
marked with a color strip or band usually ED.
NOTE: If ou have changed the position of an of our
existing IDE drives ou ma need to change there
Master/Slave jumper setting.
STEP 3.
Prepare the drive for mounting in our s stem Fig4.
If you removed a drive and it had special mounting hardware
(rails) or your computer requires (rails) attach them to the Kano
DVD+ W/ drive with the screws included with the drive.
CAUTION: Using an other screws other than the ones
supplied with our drive will void our warrant .

STEP 4.
Connect the optional audio cable fig 5.
Connect the audio cable supplied with your Kano drive to the
analog audio connector Fig 5.
STEP .
Installing our drive Fig 6.
If you have attached the optional audio cable slowly feed it into
the open drive bay as you slide the drive into the bay. If you have
rails on the drive follow you computer manufactures instruction
for mounting and securing the drive. If your computer secures
drives in place by screws, slide the drive in until the chassis
mounting holes line up with two drive screw holes on each side of
the drive. Check to see if the drive front bezel edge is flush with
the front surface of your computer Fig 6a. If not move the drive
in and out to match the mounting holes for the best fit. Using the
four (4) supplied screws mount the Kano drive securely in place.
CAUTION: Using an other screws other than the ones
supplied with our drive will void our warrant .
STEP 6.
Connect the IDE cable Fig 7.
Based on your configuration decision in step 2 connect the IDE
cable to the drive. Make sure you connect the colored striped side
of the IDE cable to the Pin 1 side of the drive host interface
(ATAPI) connector .

STEP 7.
Connect the drive power cable Fig 8.
CAUTION: Drive power connectors onl fit one wa .
Match up the angled corners of the connector with similar
corners on the drive DC input connector. Improper
connection will damage the drive.
Locate an available DC+5V/+12Vpower cable in your system and
plug it into the drive DC input connector. Power cables usually
have yellow, red and black wires with two corners of the
connector cut at angles so they only connect to the drive in one
position. If you do not have an available connector check with
your local computer store for a Y power connector adapter.
STEP 8.
echeck that all data cables are securely plugged into all the
drives. Check the jumpers on all the drives to make sure that you
do not have two (2) Masters and or two (2) Slaves connected to
one IDE controller connector. Check that your boot hard drive
jumper is set to Master and it is the first drive connected to the
P I –IDE1 connector.
STEP 9.
Close up your computer. Make sure all covers are secure before
connecting power to the system. Plug in the power cord Fig 9 and
power up the system. After booting up the system OS may find
the drive and display a Message "New device found" before going
further read your DVD + W/ software and follow the software
instruction to proceed.
