1) Installing the CD-ROM Drive

Before you begin, turn off the system power.  Follow the steps below to install the CD-ROM drive:

1.Adjust the Master/Slave jumpers on the back of the CD-ROM drive as necessary. (The factory default of the slave mode normally should not be changed.)
2.Screw the CD-ROM drive unit into a free 5.25-inch drive bay.  
3.Plug connectors to the sockets on the rear side of CD-ROM drive.


2) Installing the CD-ROM Drivers

The CD-ROM package comes with an installation utility. This utility installs the CD-ROM drivers needed by your CD-ROM drive to interact with your PC.  The driver installation diskette includes the following files:

* AOATAPI.SYS
* INSTALL.EXE
* README.TXT

NOTE: The INSTALL.EXE file automatically detects the system language  environment.

For DOS and Windows 3.1
To install the driver in DOS or Windows 3.1:
1. Insert the installation diskette in your 3.5-inch diskette drive and make it the active drive.
2. At the DOS prompt, type: INSTALL (Enter)
3. Follow the screen instructions to complete the installation. The installation program creates a directory (C:\CDROM) containing the CD-ROM drivers. It also updates your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files as follows: 
	
CONFIG.SYS
DEVICE=C:\CDROM\AOATAPI.SYS /D:IDECD000
LASTDRIVE=N
	 
AUTOEXEC.BAT
C:\DOS\MSCDEX.EXE /D:IDECD000

Changing the Settings After Installation
To reconfigure the settings of the CD-ROM driver, use a text editor (such as EDIT.COM) to modify the DEVICE= and LASTDRIVE= command lines in the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files.  Then restart your computer.

Changing the CONFIG.SYS File and Enabling the DMA Function
Add the following line to your CONFIG.SYS:

DEVICE = <PATH>\AOATAPI.SYS /D:<DEVICE_NAME> [/zzzz] [/P:xxx,yy]
The <DEVICE_NAME> is the name of the MSCDEX file that will be used to find the device driver.  The maximum length of the <DEVICE_NAME> string is eight characters.

The option [/zzzz]  in character form specifies the DMA function, the Ultra-DMA 33 function or Bus Master DMA function. Please refer to the README.TXT file for more details.

For example:
DEVICE=C:\CDROM\AOATAPI.SYS /D:IDECD000 /DMA /P:1F0,14
If your system board supports the Bus Master DMA function, the option /DMA enables the Bus Master DMA function.

The option /P: specifies the I/O port address and IRQ level.  The number xxx in hexadecimal form specifies the I/O port address (such as 1F0, 170, 1E8, or 168), and yy specifies the IRQ level (such as 14, 15, 11, or 10 in decimal). 

NOTE: If you are not familiar with I/O Port or IRQ level settings, do
       not implement/P: option.
       After changing the CONFIG.SYS, reboot the system.
       Refer to the README.TXT file for the latest driver installation
       updates.

For Windows 95 and Windows NT Environment
Windows 95 and Windows NT will automatically detect the new CD-ROM drive and load the appropriate device driver. However, there are times when Windows can not detect the CD-ROM drive. You will have to load the drivers manually.

To install the drivers manually:
1.Click the Control Panel Icon in My Computer and then click Add New Hardware. The Add New Hardware window appears.
2.The program will automatically search for your new CD-ROM Drive and load the appropriate driver.

For OS/2 Warp
Under OS/2 Warp, select the non-listed CD-ROM option. This option supports the standard ATAPI CD-ROM drives. After selecting this option, OS/2 will auto-detect the CD-ROM drive.


3) Emergency-eject Option 

The Emergency-eject option allows the user to manually open the CD tray during a power malfunction.
Follow these steps to manually open the disc tray:
1. Locate the tiny hole at the bottom of the disc tray.  Gently poke the hole three times with a sharp needle or a clip.
2. When the disc tray opens, pull out the tray and remove the disc from the CD-ROM drive.


4) Jumper Settings

There is one jumper at the rear of the CD-ROM drive.  This jumper determines how your CD-ROM drive functions. 

C    ->Use CSEL
M    ->Master
S    ->Slave
None ->Slave

The drive comes preset with the jumper at the S pin.  This means that the drive is set as a slave.  In this case, your hard disk drive would be the master drive.  To change the jumper setting, remove the jumper cap and insert the pin for the desired function.
