SETUP – SD-R5002
The following steps must be performed to properly install your drive:
•Set Drive Jumper Settings
•Connect Audio Cable
•Attach IDE BUS Cable
•Attach Power Cable
•Mount Drive
Jumper Settings
The mode select jumpers are 6 straight angle pins located on the rear of the DVD Rewriteable drive.
By placing a jumper on the pins, you can select the following functions:
CS Drive is configured using host interface signal CSEL
SL Configures drive as Slave
MA Configures drive as Master (default mode)
Figure 1.Mode Select Jumper
In most installations, jumper should remain in the MA position (factory default). It is recommended that
you install your DVD Rewriteable drive only on the secondary IDE BUS. If you are installing on primary
IDE BUS, your hard drive would then be the Master, and you should set your DVD Rewriteable drive to
the Slave position (SL)
Figure 2.Jumper Locations

Placing DVD Rewriteable Drive inside your Computer
Now that you have set the jumpers, you are ready to install your DVD Rewriteable drive inside your
computer.
Important Note: Disconnect power from your computer system before beginning installation.
Remove computer cover and faceplate if required. Refer to your computer systems manual for removal
information. If the DVD Rewriteable drive is replacing a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM, remove drive presently
installed in your system.
Your Toshiba DVD Rewriteable drive can be placed in any free half-height drive slot at the front of your
computer. (It can be mounted horizontally or vertically.)
Carefully start sliding the DVD Rewriteable drive into the opening with the disc tray facing the front of the
computer. Before you push the drive all the way in you will need to connect the IDE BUS cable, Audio
cable and the Power cable on the back of the drive.
Connecting Cables
IDE BUS Cable (not supplied with drive) - Your computer system should have a primary and secondary
IDE BUS, cable with your Hard Drive most likely being the Master on the primary BUS. Connect BUS
cable as follows, assuring that pin 1 of cable (side with red stripe) is connected to pin 1 of the DVD
Rewriteable drive's interface connector:
If you are replacing your CD-ROM or DVD:
connect DVD Rewriteable drive to the BUS Cable
connector that the CD-ROM or DVD was connected to.
If DVD Rewriteable drive is not replacing a CD-
ROM/DVD or is an addition to a CD-ROM/DVD:
connect DVD Rewriteable drive to an open connector on
the secondary IDE BUS cable (not supplied with drive).
If DVD Rewriteable drive is to be slave on Primary BUS:
connect DVD Rewriteable drive to open connector on
the primary IDE BUS cable (not supplied with drive).
Figure 3.Installing BUS Cable

Power Cable - Connect an internal computer power
supply cable to the power socket at the back of the DVD
Rewriteable drive. One side of the plug has chamfered
edges, so the power connector fits only one way. Push
plug completely into the socket making sure the plug fits
correctly.
Figure 4.Installing Power Cable
Audio Cable (optional) - If you have a sound card and
speakers, and would like to play audio CDs on your
computer, you will need to install a CD/DVD audio cable.
Toshiba's DVD Rewriteable drives use a standard 4-pin
audio cable that can be purchased from most local
computer suppliers. The sound cable connects to your
sound card at one end and the other end connects to
the digital audio connector at the left rear of the DVD
Rewriteable drive (see DVD Rewriteable drive Back
Panel photo for location). Refer to the instructions that
came with your sound card for details on any sound-
driver software required.
Figure 5.Installing Audio Cable
Completing Installation
After you have connected all the necessary cables,
push the DVD Rewriteable drive completely into the
computers drive slot. Mount drive per your computers
instructions. The screw length should not exceed
30.5mm (measured from outside surface of side or
bottom of drive to tip of screw). Replace computer
cover and all outer screws.

2. The vertical position of the drive (eject button up or down) determines which of these four sliding
disc holders are used (see photo below). Position the disc behind 3 of the disc holders, two on
bottom, and one on upper rear, closest to drive). Using all four holders may cause the disc to not
set properly in tray.
3. Slide the disc holders towards the center of tray using your finger, opened paper clip or the end
of the emergency eject tool. The holder in the upper front side should be pulled away from the
center of tray.

holder
5. Check to see that all three disc holders are holding disc securely.
