PX-712A QuickStart Installation
For Experienced PC Users Only
If you’ve installed computer peripherals before, use this QuickStart
installation to get up and running quickly.
Typical Scenario 1: You have a PC with an IDE interface installed,
you have Windows 98SE, Me, 2000, or XP, and you have nothing
installed on the secondary IDE port. What to do: Leave the
PX-712A’s jumper set to Master, attach it to the secondary IDE port,
and go. Windows will recognize the drive automatically.
Typical Scenario 2: You have a PC with an IDE interface installed,
you have Windows 98SE, Me, 2000, or XP, the primary IDE port
already has two devices connected and you have a CD-ROM
installed on the secondary IDE port. What to do: Change the CD-
ROM to Slave, leave the PX-712A’s jumper set to Master and attach
the PX-712A to the secondary IDE port. Windows recognizes the
new drive automatically.
If neither of these situations applies to you, or you’re not comfortable
with IDE installation, read the rest of this chapter for more detailed
installation instructions.

Installation

your computer and examine the IDE connections to the motherboard.

1. Before proceeding, make sure the power to your computer and any
external peripherals is OFF and your computer is UNPLUGGED
