IDE INSTALLATION

Step 1. Unpack the drive accessory box. The accessory box should have a disc with
the included software, a QPS DVD-R disc, an audio cable, an IDE ribbon cable
and mounting screws.
Step 2. Shut down and turn off your computer.
Step 3. Remove the cover from your computer (please refer to your PC owners
manual for the proper way to do this).
Step 4. Remove the cover plate from an available 5.25" drive bay or remove the drive
that you want to replace. Set aside any mounting hardware for later use. If
your system requires mounting rails go to step 5 otherwise proceed to Step 6.
Step 5. Attach the drive mounting hardware to the Que! Drive using M3 (ISO Metric
Screw Threads). Reference the figure below.
Caution: Using the incorrect screw thread or length will damage the drive and void
your warranty. Consult your computer manufacturer for the correct mounting
hardware(rails) and screws, rails may not be needed.
Note: Please refer to Que! DVDBurner Installation Manual CD for complete installation version. 5
IDE INSTALLATION

Step 6. Set the Master/Slave jumper as appropriate for your system. When connecting
a second IDE device to thesame IDE interface connector cable you should
designate the first device as the Master and the second device as the Slave.
This is done by placing the jumpers over the corresponding pins on the back
of your DVDBurner drive.
Note: The location of jumpers may vary from one model to another.
Note: Please refer to Que! DVDBurner Installation Manual CD for complete installation version.

IDE INSTALLATION

Step 7. Insert your Que! Drive into the available bay.
Note: The Que! Drive must be mounted in a HORIZONTAL position.
Step 8. Put the mounting screws in just tight enough to hold the drive in the system
but loose enough to be able to move the drive back and forth.
Step 9. Insert the power connection to the back of the Que! Drive. Then plug in the
IDE ribbon cable to the IDE interface on the back of the drive. Please be sure
that the side of the IDE ribbon cable with the red stripe goes toward pin 1 on
the back of the drive. Pin 1 is always marked on the back of internal drives.

HANDLING

The NUMBER ONE cause of premature disc failure with recordable media is contamination
of the recording surface before recording is completed. To minimize disc failure, use
the following disc-handling guidelines.
•Keep the media in its sealed package until you are ready to record.
•Keep the disc as clean and dust-free as possible. DO NOT touch the
recording surface, and do not expose the disc to dust or dirt.
•DO NOT BLOW ON THE DISC to remove dust or dirt. To remove dust
from the recording surface use a camera lens cleaner, a lint free cloth
or use compressed air. Wipe the disc from the center to the outer
edge. NEVER wipe the disc in a circular motion.
•Always record in a dust-free environment. If the disc is to be removed
from the DVDBurner drive, store the disc in a clean, dust-freeenvironment.
•Never bend or flex the disc. This may warp the disc and leave it
unusable.
•Never scratch off the reflective top surface of recordable media..
Without the reflective surface the disc is completely unusable.
•If you must write on the recordable media disc surface, read the
back of the media jewel case or sleeve for instructions.
