Installing the CD-RW Drive
TEAC CD-RW Installation Guide 5
4d) Connect the opposite end of the interface ribbon cable to the interface
connector on the rear panel of the CD-RW drive.
4e) Connect one end of an analog audio cable to the analog audio connector on
the rear panel of the CD-RW 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-ROM/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-RW drive as a Slave drive to the same cable that
currently hosts your CD-ROM/DVD drive.
5a) Set the jumper on the rear panel of the CD-RW drive to Slave.
5b) Slide the CD-RW drive into the empty 5.25-inch drive bay. Install the CD-
RW 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 3x5mm mounting screws.
5c) Connect the CD-RW to the vacant middle connector on your CD-ROM/
DVD interface cable. (If your original cable does not have an available
middle connector, you will need to acquire and install a standard IDE cable
with three connectors.)
5d) Your CD-ROM/DVD drive probably uses an audio cable that is connected
to the computer’s sound card. Therefore, there is no need to connect an
audio cable to your CD-RW drive. An 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.
Warning: Do not use mounting screws longer than 3x5mm to secure the
CD-RW drive or you may damage the unit.
