Adapter Board
Conflicts
Installation Summary
To access the Toshiba TXM3401E1 external CD-ROM drive from your PC,
you must install the hardware and software contained in the Tandem
CD-ROM drive kit for ISA/EISA PCs. The following pages summarize the
installation process, which involves:
1. Identifyingany potential host adapter board conflicts
2. Setting jumperswitches on the hostadapter board
3. Installing the host adapter board in your PC
4. Connecting the CD-ROM drive to
your PC
5. Setting the SCSI-ID switch
on the CD-ROM drive
6. Attachingthe power cord
7. Loading the appropriate software files
8. Testing the CD-ROM drive
If you have experience installing PC hardware and software, you might be
able to set up your CD-ROM drive by reading only the installation
summary contained on the following pages. If you do not have installation
experience
or are unsure of how to proceed, please read the rest of this
manual. Itdescribes the installation process in greaterdetail.
Before installing the Toshiba TMC-850MEX host
adapter board in your PC,
verify that the defaultinterrupt
and shared memory settings supported by
the TMC-850MEX adapter have not already been assigned to other adapter
boards in your PC (for example, LAN adapters, tape driveadapters, or SCSI
disk adapters). If you discover an assignment conflict:
D Use oneof the alternate assignments
or addresses supported by the
TMC-850MEX adapter.
D Reassign
or disable one of the conflicting adapter boards to install the
TMC-850MEX adapter.

1 Introduction to the
Tandem CD-ROM Drive Kit
CD-ROM Technology
This section describes the CD-ROM technology, lists the contents of the
Tandem CD-ROM drive kit for PCs, describes the recommended software
and hardware configurations, and illustrates theCD-ROM drive.
A CD-ROM drive is a read-only memory device capable of reading digital
data, including text
and graphics, stored on a compactdisc (CD). A
CD-ROM drive is typically attached
to either a stand-alone PC or Macintosh
computer ora local area network (LAN) server. Users access information
on the compactdisc through their computers. A CD can store
up to 650
megabytes of data, the equivalentof more than 250,000 pages of text.
Because ofthe CD's high capacity, durability,
and portability, Tandem uses
compactdisc
and CD-ROM drive technology for some of its computer
documentation. With the required CD-ROM hardware
and the Tandem
CD Read product,you can display Tandem manuals on
your computer
screen. Online access to manuals ensures that your manuals arealways up-
to-date
and available for reference. Additionally, the search and page-
markingfeatures available with Tandem online manuals make finding
information fast
and easy.
