SETUP – SD-R5372 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.
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.
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.
Software Driver - Toshiba's optical drives do not require any unique device drivers for Windows '95/'98/2000/Me/XP/NT. After installing your drive and re-booting, your system should recognize your drive. Windows '95/'98/2000/Me/XP/NT Operating Systems support all Toshiba optical drives natively If you prefer using DOS, download the DOS ATAPI driver from our web site. Other Software - Additional software is required to use the SD-R5372 CD-R/-RW, DVD-R/-RW and DVD functions.

NOTE: High-speed drives spin the disc at a high rotational speed. If a disc has printing on only half of the disc, or if there is a slight imbalance in the disc, the imbalance is greatly magnified by the high speed, causing the drive to vibrate or produce a fan-like noise. These effects are inherent in the high-speed technology and do not indicate a problem with the drive.
