Attach the two connectors from the end-panel assembly to the appropriate connectors on the CD-ROM drive.
a. Attach the IDE 40-pin data cable from the end-panel to the 40-pin connector on the back of the CD-ROM drive. To ensure pin-1 to pin-1 connection, orient the cable so the colored stripe edge is closest to the power connector. b. Attach the 4-pin power cable from the end-panel to the 4-pin connector on the back of the CD-ROM drive. The connector is ‘D’ shaped to ensure proper connection. 2. Place the CD-ROM drive in the bottom enclosure cover.
6. Align the cover’s mounting holes with the mounting holes on the drive rails and secure with four screws (two on each side). 7. Replace the four rubber stands, one on each of the four corners. Orient each stand so the raised nub is on the bottom. These help heat dissipation and provide secure placement of the CD-ROM Box. Assembled CD-ROM Box Enclosure 8. A vertical-holder stand is also provided as a convenient, space-saving method for setup of the CD-ROM Box Enclosure on your desktop.
3.1 Operation with a Docking Kit Perform the following steps (in the order given) to set up a Docking Unit with your CD-ROM Box Enclosure for operation. (Also refer to your Docking Kit’s installation manual for further details. Some Docking Kits do not provide a Power Select switch.) 1. For Windows 98 users: verify that the Windows 98 driver is installed (if required.) 2. Verify that the power switch on the Docking Unit is OFF.
b. When using the Docking Kit’s interface for power, set switch to the RIGHT position. Note: it is recommended that you use the +5V /+12V power adapter whenever possible. 6. Connect the Docking Kit’s interface cable into the appropriate interface port on your computer; plug the other end into the connector port on the Docking Unit. 7. Viewing the screen, note that the plug-and-play feature will recognize the new device and assign it as a new drive. The device is now ready to use.
