Setting-up the “Mode Select” Jumper
On the rear panel of the CD-Rewritable drive, you will find three pairs of
jumpers, CS (CSEL), SL (Slave) and MA (Master). Use the jumper cap to set
the device to CS, SL or MA mode corresponding to your PC configuration (See
Figure below). The default setting is “Slave” mode. Improper or conflicting
setting, will cause the unit to not be detected by your computer.
Connecting to a Primary IDE Controller
There should be at least one IDE controller (or card) on the PC motherboard.
This IDE controller supports two devices, one for the hard disk (Master), and
the other for the 2
nd
hard disk or a CD-ROM drive. The hard disk should be
connected to this primary IDE (Master mode) controller, as the PC needs to
use the hard disk to boot up the system (unless you are using a SCSI hard
drive). Make sure the CD Rewritable drive is connected to the Primary IDE
Port as the 2
nd
device, which is referred to as the “Slave”. Make sure the
Mode Select Jumper is set to the SL (Slave) position in order to be used as
the 2
nd
device on the Primary IDE Controller.
Connecting a Secondary IDE controller
If the PC is equipped with a 2
nd
IDE controller (or card) on the motherboard,
each device connected to this controller should be set to either MA (Master)
or SL (Slave) mode. Please set the CD-Rewritable drive to MA (Master)
mode. If there is another device such as a CD-ROM connected to the
secondary IDE controller, make sure it is set to the “Slave” mode. You may
have to change the jumper settings on this CD-ROM. By setting the CD-
Rewritable drive to the “Master” position, you will get maximum performance.
