sure to use it properly. After reading the instructions, store them in an
easily accessible place so they can be consulted whenever necessary.
WARNING
• Continued use should there be an irregularity (smoke, abnormal
smell or sound, etc.) will lead to fires or electric shocks. If there
should be an irregularity, immediately turn off the power of the
computer on which the unit is installed and request servicing.
• Do not disassemble or modify the unit in any way. Doing so will
lead to fires or electric shocks.
• Make sure that no foreign objects get in the unit, as this will lead
to fires or electric shocks. If a foreign object should get in the
unit, immediately turn off the power of the computer on which
the unit is installed and request servicing.
• Do not let fluids get in the unit or let the unit get wet, as this will
lead to fires or electric shocks. If fluid should get in the unit,
immediately turn off the power of the computer on which the unit
is installed and request servicing.
• Do not use with any power voltage other than the indicated
voltage. Doing so will lead to fires or electric shocks.
• Do not store or use the unit in places where it may be subject to
shocks or strong vibrations. Doing so will lead to fires or electric
shocks.
• Do not store or use the unit in places where it may be exposed
to chemicals or chemical vapors. Doing so will lead to fires or
electric shocks.

• Do not store or use the unit in extremely hot places or places
where the humidity fluctuates greatly. Doing so could lead to
fires or electric shocks.
• Do not store or use the unit in places exposed to direct sunlight
or near equipment that generates heat. Doing so could lead to
fires.
• Do not place the unit on unsteady tables, slanted surfaces or
other unstable surfaces. The unit could fall or tip over, resulting
in injury.
• Do not store or use the unit in humid or dusty places . Doing so

repaired with adhesives, etc. Discs rotate at high speeds inside
the unit. If such discs are used, they may break and fly out,
resulting in injury.
• Do not look directly at the laser source. Exposing the eyes to the
laser beam could result in vision impairment.
• When used near a radio or TV, the unit may generate noise in
the radio or TV. Also, if there is equipment generating strong
magnetic forces nearby, this may generate noise in the unit.
• Keep the disc tray closed except when inserting or removing
discs in order to prevent injury from bumping into the disc tray.

Installation
Jumper Setting
A jumper consists of a pair of pins and a connector which fits over the
pins. When the connector is in place it establishes an electronic link
between the pins, which enables the function being controlled by the
jumper. If the connector is removed, the electronic link is broken and the
function is disabled.
Jumpers are used to set the DVD-ROM reader mode on the IDE
interface.
