Installing the Drive
To install the drive into your computer, do the following:
Step 1. Opening the computer
To open your computer, do the following:
1. Turn off the computer and all attached devices.
2. Unplug the power cords for the computer and all attached devices.
3. Remove the cover from the computer. See the documentation for your
computer for instructions on removing the cover.
Step 2. Unpacking the drive
To unpack the drive, do the following:
1. In order to discharge any accumulated static electricity, touch an unpainted
metal surface for at least two seconds. Take the bag that the drive is packed in
and touch the bag to an unpainted metal surface for at least two seconds.
2. Remove the drive from the bag.
If you must put the drive down, place the antistatic bag on a flat padded surface,
and place the drive on the bag with the component side facing up.
Step 3. Selecting an IDE port
Newer computers typically have two IDE ports. If your computer has two IDE
ports, use the secondary IDE port to connect the CD-RW drive. Typically the
secondary IDE port is adjacent to the primary IDE port that connects to your hard
disk drive. The IDE port you select and the cable position you select determine
which configuration jumper setting you use for the drive. See “Step 4. Setting the
configuration jumper” for instructions on setting the configuration jumper.
v If you have two IDE ports, connect the CD-RW drive to the secondary IDE port
with the IDE cable that comes with your drive. If the CD-RW drive is the only
device on the secondary IDE port, you will use the master configuration setting.
If there is another device on the secondary port in addition to the CD-RW drive,
you will use the slave configuration setting.
v If you must attach the CD-RW drive to the same IDE port as a faster device,
such as a hard disk drive, use the slave setting for the CD-RW drive and the
master setting for the faster device. In some instances, the hard disk drive might
require a master-with-slave-present setting when another device on the same
cable is configured as a slave. For further information on setting configuration
jumpers on other devices, see the documentation that came with your computer
or with the device in question.
v Some non-IBM computers support the cable-select setting, where the position of
the device on the cable determines whether a device is master or slave. See the
documentation that comes with your computer to determine if your computer
supports this setting.
Step 4. Setting the configuration jumper
The following illustration shows the master ꢀ1ꢁ setting, the slave ꢀ2ꢁ setting, and
the cable-select ꢀ3ꢁsetting. Configure the CD-RW drive by placing a jumper over
4
48X/32X/48X Max CD-RW Drive: User’s Guide
one pair of pins corresponding to the setting you chose in Step 3.
v If you are configuring the drive as master, set the jumper to the master ꢀ1ꢁ
device setting. (This is how the drive is set when it is shipped.) If there is a
second device on the IDE port, check that the device is configured as slave.
v If you are configuring the drive as slave, set the jumper to the slave ꢀ2ꢁdevice
setting. Check that the other device on the IDE port is configured as master (or
master-with-slave-present).
v If you are configuring the drive as cable-select, set the jumper to the cable-select
ꢀ3ꢁ device setting. If there is another device on the IDE port, check that the
device is also configured for cable-select.
Step 5. Mounting the drive in the bay
Attention: Be sure to use the mounting screws in the option package when you
are driving screws directly into the drive. Using screws that are too long might
damage the drive.
You can mount the CD-RW drive in the computer either horizontally or vertically.
If you mount the drive vertically, you must secure any CDs you place into the
drive before you close the drive tray, or the CD-RW drive will not be able to read
the CD properly. For further instructions on securing your CDs in a vertically
mounted drive, see “Loading a CD” on page 9.
1. Slide the drive into the bay. Your computer might have specific required
procedures for installing storage devices. Refer to the documentation that came
with your computer for further instructions.
2. Align the drive-bay screw holes with the threaded holes in the drive housing or
mounting bracket. Be sure to use the mounting screws provided with this
drive. Using the wrong size screws might damage the drive. Thread the screws
in loosely to check their position. Usually two screws are used on each side.
3. Check to ensure that the alignment is correct, and then tighten the screws to
secure the drive. Do not overtighten.

Step 6. Attaching the cables to the drive
Connect the cables to the CD-RW drive as follows:
1. If you want to connect the CD-RW drive to your sound adapter or to the sound
function on your system board, locate the included audio cables and determine
which cable best fits the CD audio-in port on your sound adapter. Connect one
end of the selected audio cable to the CD-RW drive audio-out connector ꢀ1ꢁ,
and the other end of the cable to your sound adapter CD audio-in port. Save
the other cable in case you use a different sound adapter in the future.
Note: Some computers have a smaller connector that is incompatible with the
included audio cable. If your computer has this kind of connector, you
must purchase a new audio cable.
2. Attach a 40-pin IDE-cable connector ꢀ2ꢁ to the IDE connector on the drive.
Align the cable so that the color-coded edge is closest to the power cable
connector ꢀ3ꢁ. Use the IDE cable provided with this option if there is no cable
attached to the IDE port or if there is only one device connector on the IDE
cable. If you use the included IDE cable, attach one end of the cable to your
system board IDE port or to your IDE adapter, and the other end of the IDE
cable to the CD-RW drive.
3. Locate one of the available power cables attached to your computer power
source. Attach the four-pin power cable ꢀ3ꢁ to the CD-RW drive DC power
connector.
Step 7. Completing the hardware installation
To complete the hardware installation, do the following:
1. Be sure that the drive is securely mounted and the connectors are firmly
attached.
2. Be sure the cables do not interfere with the computer cover and do not block
any fan blade or air-flow paths.
3. Reinstall the computer cover.
4. Reconnect all devices and check any devices that might have become
disconnected, such as the keyboard, mouse, and monitor.
5. Connect all power cords to electrical outlets.
Step 8. Updating your computer configuration
After you have completed the hardware installation, restart your computer.
Usually, the configuration-setup information screen is displayed when you turn on
your computer. If you do not see this screen, check your computer documentation
for information about accessing the configuration or setup utility program.

Using CD-R and CD-RW discs
The CD-RW drive can write to both CD-R and CD-RW discs. CD-RW discs can be
erased and reused many times, while CD-R discs can be written to only once.
Carefully handle and clean discs, especially writable media types such as CD-R
and CD-RW discs, so that they remain readable. You can prolong the life of your
discs by using the following precautions:
v Always store CD-ROMs in their original packaging
v Always store CD-ROMs out of direct sunlight
v Always store CD-ROMs away from direct heat sources
v Remove CD-ROMs from the computer when not in use
v Check CD-ROM for cracks BEFORE each use
v DO NOT force CD-ROMs into the computer/packaging
v DO NOT bend or flex CD-ROMs
Notes:
1. CD-R discs are playable on most audio CD players. CD-RW discs are playable
only on some audio CD players.
2. Some consumer audio players will only play discs recorded on media labelled
specifically for audio.
3. CD-R media is rated by write-speed. For 48x write mode, 48x media is
required. For best results, limit write-speed to the media speed rating. The
Record Now Software included in the option kit will allow you to limit the
maximum recording speed.

Write these files to CD.
Note: Trying to eject the disc will prompt you to record the files.
Using IBM Drive Letter Access (DLA)
IBM Drive Letter Access (DLA) is included on the User’s Guide and Software CD so
you can write data to CD-RW and CD-R media.
CD-RW discs can be formatted two ways. The first way is normal UDF, and the
second way is UDF with EasyWrite extensions. EasyWrite extensions allow the disc
to be formatted in the background while data is being written to it. While this is
more convenient, EasyWrite written discs cannot be read in other computers
without the UDF reader.
To format a blank CD-R or CD-RW, do the following:
1. Insert a blank disc into your CD-RW drive.
2. Open My Computer.
3. Right-Click on the Drive icon and select Format.
4. Check the EasyWrite box to background format the disc or leave it unchecked
to do a normal format.
To write to formatted media, do the following:
1. Insert a previously formatted disc into your CD-RW drive. The disc will be
mounted for write access.
2. Drag and drop files to the CD-RW/CD-R drive letter icon, or use move the files
through Windows Explorer.
To make CD-R media compatible in other computers, do the following:
1. Right-click on the drive letter in My Computer.
2. Click Make Compatible.
Note: After making compatible and appending 9 times, a CD-R disk will become
read-only.
Note: CD-RW media can be written many times; CD-R media can only be written
to once.
Note: On EasyWrite discs, it will take 20 to 60 seconds to suspend or shut down
your PC. Interrupting this process will cause data loss.
Note: The drive light is not active during EasyWrite background formatting.
Using the UDF Reader
The UDF Reader software is provided to read DLA-written discs on PCs that do
not have DLA installed. When you install DLA into your system, a copy of the
UDF Reader installer is copied to your system as well. You can install the UDF
Reader on other PCs to read your own UDF created discs.
Note: The UDF Reader is not required on any computer that has DLA installed. It
is only used on computers that share media with computers that write with
DLA.
Installation and user’s guide 11
Note: EasyWrite-formatted media cannot be read in any computer without an
EasyWrite UDF reader installed.
Note: To read CD-R discs formatted with DLA in computers without CD-RW
drives, use the Make Compatible function listed in the drive properties

insert a blank disc.
v Make a music disc: Select this option to create an audio CD. The second screen
will ask if you want to make an audio CD from MP3 and Wave files on your
hard disk, or from other audio CDs. There is also a selection to make a disc for
an MP3 player, which is a specially formatted data disc that can be played in
stand-alone MP3 players.
v Make a data disc: Select this option to create a disc containing data files from
your hard disk. RecordNow will ask whether you want to format the disc for
DLA or make a data disc for sharing with others. RecordNow will prompt you
to insert a blank disc. Then a screen will appear that will enable you to
drag-and-drop files, or browse to find files on your hard disk.
v Once RecordNow is started, you can also perform two special operations:
– Clicking on the Favorites button will allow you to load a previously saved
audio, data, MP3, or CD image to burn a new copy.
– Dropping an ISO or GI CD image into the files box for a data CD will record
the image file directly onto the CD.

Appendix B. Problem solving
Computer problems can be caused by hardware, software, or user error. You might
be able to use the information in this section to solve problems yourself, or gather
helpful information you can pass on to a service technician.
Review the following list for any problem descriptions that might fit your
situation.
Troubleshooting
Your computer or CD-RW drive does not operate correctly or
the busy indicator light does not come on.
Take the following actions:
1. Check that the CD is loaded with the label side up.
2. Check that all devices are correctly connected to the computer and the electrical
outlet. If all devices are correctly connected and you are still experiencing
problems, go to step 3.
3. Turn off the computer, unplug the cables from the electrical outlets for your
computer and all attached devices, and remove the computer cover.
4. Check that all power and IDE cables are securely attached. Disconnect the IDE
cable and check for bent or misaligned pins. If you do not find any problems,
reconnect the IDE cable. Reattach all cables and power cords and replace the
computer cover. Turn on the computer, restart the system, and then attempt to
open the CD tray by pressing the Eject/Load button. If the tray fails to open
and the busy indicator light does not come on, turn off the computer and try
using another 4-pin dc power cable.
5. Check that the color-coded edge on the IDE cable aligns with pin 1 on the IDE
port and is closest to the power cable on the 48X/32X/48X Max CD-ReWritable
6. Check that the IDE cable is connected to the proper IDE port connection. See
“Step 3. Selecting an IDE port” on page 4 for more information.
7. Check the CD-RW drive and any other device on the IDE cable for the proper
master/slave jumper settings. See “Step 4. Setting the configuration jumper” on
page 4 for more information.
8. If the middle connector on the IDE cable is attached to the IDE port on the
system board, remove the connector and reattach the cable. If there is only one
device on the IDE port, attach the connector at one end of the cable to the IDE
port and the connector at the other end to the device, leaving the middle
connector (if there is one) open. If there are two devices on the IDE port, attach
the connector at one end of the cable to the IDE port. If there is a hard disk
drive, attach it to the connector at the other end of the cable and attach the
CD-RW drive to the middle connector.

Appendix E. IBM Statement of Limited Warranty -
Z125-4753-07 - 11/2002
Part 1 - General Terms
This Statement of Limited Warranty includes Part 1 - General Terms, Part 2 -
Country-unique Terms, and Part 3 - Warranty Information. The terms of Part 2 replace or
modify those of Part 1. The warranties provided by IBM in this Statement of Limited
Warranty apply only to Machines you purchase for your use, and not for resale. The term
″Machine″ means an IBM machine, its features, conversions, upgrades, elements, or
accessories, or any combination of them. The term ″Machine″ does not include any software
programs, whether pre-loaded with the Machine, installed subsequently or otherwise.
Nothing in this Statement of Limited Warranty affects any statutory rights of
consumers that cannot be waived or limited by contract.
What this Warranty Covers
IBM warrants that each Machine 1) is free from defects in materials and
workmanship and 2) conforms to IBM’s Official Published Specifications
(″Specifications″) which are available on request. The warranty period for the
Machine starts on the original Date of Installation and is specified in Part 3 -
Warranty Information. The date on your invoice or sales receipt is the Date of
Installation unless IBM or your reseller informs you otherwise. Many features,
conversions, or upgrades involve the removal of parts and their return to IBM. A
part that replaces a removed part will assume the warranty service status of the
removed part. Unless IBM specifies otherwise, these warranties apply only in the
country or region in which you purchased the Machine.
THESE WARRANTIES ARE YOUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES AND REPLACE
ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR
CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE
EXCLUSION OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE
EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT EVENT, SUCH
WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD.
NO WARRANTIES APPLY AFTER THAT PERIOD. SOME STATES OR
JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN
IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT
APPLY TO YOU.
What this Warranty Does not Cover
This warranty does not cover the following:
v
any software programs, whether pre-loaded or shipped with the Machine, or
installed subsequently;
v
failure resulting from misuse (including but not limited to use of any Machine
capacity or capability, other than that authorized by IBM in writing), accident,
modification, unsuitable physical or operating environment, or improper
maintenance by you;
v
failure caused by a product for which IBM is not responsible; and
© Copyright IBM Corp. 2003
25
v
any non-IBM products, including those that IBM may procure and provide with
or integrate into an IBM Machine at your request.
The warranty is voided by removal or alteration of identification labels on the
Machine or its parts.
IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of a Machine.
Any technical or other support provided for a Machine under warranty, such as
assistance via telephone with ″how-to″ questions and those regarding Machine
set-up and installation, is provided WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.
How to Obtain Warranty Service
If the Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period, contact
IBM or your reseller to obtain warranty service. If you do not register the Machine
with IBM, you may be required to present proof of purchase as evidence of your
entitlement to warranty service.
What IBM Will Do to Correct Problems
When you call for service, you must follow the problem determination and
resolution procedures that IBM specifies. A technician will attempt to make an
initial diagnosis of your problem and help you resolve it over the telephone.
The type of warranty service applicable to your Machine is specified in Part 3 -
Warranty Information.
You are responsible for downloading and installing designated Machine Code
(microcode, basic input/output system code (called ″BIOS″), utility programs,
device drivers, and diagnostics delivered with an IBM Machine ) and other
software updates from an IBM Internet Web site or from other electronic media,
and following the instructions that IBM provides.
If your problem can be resolved with a Customer Replaceable Unit (″CRU″) (e.g.,
keyboard, mouse, speaker, memory, hard disk drive and other easily replaceable
parts), IBM will ship these parts to you for replacement by you.
If the Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period and
your problem cannot be resolved over the telephone, through your application of
Machine Code or software updates, or with a CRU, IBM or your reseller, if
approved by IBM to provide warranty service, will either, at its discretion, 1) repair
it to make it function as warranted, or 2) replace it with one that is at least
functionally equivalent. If IBM is unable to do either, you may return the Machine
to your place of purchase and your money will be refunded.
IBM or your reseller will also manage and install selected engineering changes that
apply to the Machine.
Exchange of a Machine or Part
When the warranty service involves the exchange of a Machine or part, the item
IBM or your reseller replaces becomes its property and the replacement becomes
yours. You represent that all removed items are genuine and unaltered. The
replacement may not be new, but will be in good working order and at least
26 48X/32X/48X Max CD-RW Drive: User’s Guide
functionally equivalent to the item replaced. The replacement assumes the
warranty service status of the replaced item.
Your Additional Responsibilities
Before IBM or your reseller exchanges a Machine or part, you agree to remove all
features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not under warranty service.
You also agree to:
1. ensure that the Machine is free of any legal obligations or restrictions that
prevent its exchange;
2. obtain authorization from the owner to have IBM or your reseller service a
Machine that you do not own; and
3. where applicable, before service is provided:

obligations under this Statement of Limited Warranty (which may include
shipping the Machine for such processing to other IBM service locations around
the world), and (c) ensure that such processing complies with any laws
applicable to such Personal Data.
Limitation of Liability
IBM is responsible for loss of, or damage to, your Machine only while it is 1) in
IBM’s possession or 2) in transit in those cases where IBM is responsible for the
transportation charges.
Neither IBM nor your reseller are responsible for any of your confidential,
proprietary or personal information contained in a Machine which you return to
IBM for any reason. You should remove all such information from the Machine
prior to its return.
Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on IBM’s part or other
liability, you are entitled to recover damages from IBM. In each such instance,
regardless of the basis on which you are entitled to claim damages from IBM
(including fundamental breach, negligence, misrepresentation, or other contract or
tort claim), except for any liability that cannot be waived or limited by applicable
laws, IBM is liable for no more than
1. damages for bodily injury (including death) and damage to real property and
