Alternatively, you can wear an anti-static grounding wrist strap. You can permanently damage Discharge any static charge equipment if you touch it while there is any static charge in your body.
Setup Procedures Choosing the Connection Method 4 First, check how existing IDE devices are connected to your computer, and then determine how to connect the CRW2200E drive in conjunction with those devices. As a supplemental drive If the casing of your computer has a spare 5.25-inch drive bay available, such as with many tower-type computers, you can install the CRW2200E drive supplemental to the computer’s existing CD-ROM drive.
Setup Procedures About IDE IDE (Enhanced IDE/E-IDE) is one of the standards applied to the connection between personal computers and their peripherals. A computer motherboard provides two IDE connectors (primary and secondary). (Although, some motherboards provide only a primary connector.) You may connect up to two IDE devices (hard disk, CD-ROM, or CD-R drives) to the connectors using an IDE cable. One of the devices connected via the IDE cable is called “master” and the other is called “slave.
Setup Procedures Connecting examples Yamaha recommends one of the following connections. Example-1: As secondary slave (For supplemental drive) Hard disk (master) CD-ROM drive etc.
Setup Procedures Notes • When replacing an IDE-type hardware solely to a IDE cable, select master for the drive, and connect it at the end of the cable. • When the operating system starts with the SCSI hard drive, a primary IDE connector may have no IDE devices. In such a case, Yamaha recommends you connect the CRW2200E drive as a primary master. • When you connect the removed IDE-type hardware to the other connector of the cable, some cables may have only one connector.
Setup Procedures Setting the Jumper Switches 5 Set the CRW2200E drive as MASTER or SLAVE to meet your computer environment by plugging the included plastic shunt into the appropriate jumper switch on the rear panel of the CRW2200E drive. Rear Panel Master Slave (factory setting) The CRW2200E drive is shipped with the SLAVE setting. Thus, you do not need to reset the factory setting if you plan to use the CRW2200E drive as SLAVE.
