caused by a discharge of static electricity.
3. Remove your computer’s cover, faceplate, or 5.25-inch bay cover, as well
as mounting clips, screws, and retaining brackets.
4. If you have a SCSI CD-ROM drive or no IDE CD-ROM/DVD drive
installed on your system, do the following:
4a) Confirm that the jumper on the rear panel of the CD- W drive is
configured to its default setting of Master.
4b) Slide the CD- W drive into the empty 5.25" drive bay. Install the CD-
W drive in your personal computer in a horizontal orientation (within
±10˚ of horizontal). The Eject button should be located on the right side
of the unit. Secure the drive using the included 3x5mm mounting screws.
Figure 6. Installing the CD-RW Drive in a Computer

4c) Locate the secondary IDE connector on your system’s motherboard and
connect one end of the IDE interface cable provided with your TEAC kit.
Be certain to connect Pin-1 of the interface cable to Pin-1 on the
secondary IDE connector on the motherboard. (Pin-1 on interface cable
is usually designated by a colored strip along one edge of the cable. Also,
the interface ribbon cable connector may feature a tab on one side. Insert
the cable so that the tab aligns with the notch on the interface connector.
Do not use excessive force while trying to insert the cable into position).
4d) Connect the opposite end of the interface ribbon cable to the interface
connector on the rear panel of the CD- W drive.

4e) Connect one end of the included analog audio cable to the analog audio
connector on the rear panel of the CD- W drive and connect the opposite
end to your sound card. (Go to Step 6.)
5. If you have an IDE CD-ROM/DVD drive installed on your system, do
the following:
Typically, your IDE CD- OM/DVD drive is connected to the secondary IDE
motherboard connector as a Master. In such cases, it is strongly
recommended that you connect the CD- W drive as a Slave drive to the same
cable that currently hosts your CD- OM/DVD drive.

5a) Set the jumper on the rear panel of the CD- W drive to Slave.
5b) Slide the CD- W drive into the empty 5.25-inch drive bay. Install the
CD- W drive in your personal computer in a horizontal orientation
(within ±10˚ of horizontal). The Eject button should be located on the
right side of the unit. Secure the drive using the included 3x5mm
mounting screws.
5c) Connect the CD- W to the vacant middle connector on your existing CD-
OM/DVD interface cable.
If your original cable does not have an available middle connector,
remove this cable and use the cable provided with the TEAC drive.
5d) Your CD- OM/DVD drive probably uses an audio cable that is
connected to the computer’s sound card. Therefore, there is no need to
connect the audio cable that came with your CD- W drive. This audio
cable is not necessary for recording audio CDs.
6. Connect the power cable to the power connector on the rear panel of the
CD-RW drive.
Insert the power cable plug in the correct orientation into the power
connector. The plug is shaped so that it can be easily inserted in only one
orientation; do not force the plug into the connector. The +5v terminal is on
the left as you face the rear of the panel; the +12v terminal is on the right. The
two center terminals are ground terminals.
7. Re-install your computer’s cover, faceplate, or bay cover.
8. Start your system.

Notes:
❑The IDE CD- W drive is a true Plug-N-Play device; therefore, it will be
detected automatically by Windows 98SE/Me/2000-Professional. There is
no need to install any drivers.
❑Windows NT 4.0 Workstation Users:
Windows NT 4.0 does not support the Plug-N-Play feature. Therefore, con-

not, open the Control Panel, double click “SCSI Adapters,” click the “Driv-
ers” tab, then click the “Add” button. At the “Select a SCSI Adapter
Option” window, select “IDE CD- OM D IVE (ATAPI Ver 1.2).” Click
“Install” and follow the instructions on screen.
❑The drive is recognized by the operating system as a typical CD- OM
drive. Once you confirm that you can read (play) data discs from the CD-
W drive, install the oxio software to enable recording to CD- and CD-
W discs. (See Chapter 3 for more information.)
