Sec 2: Removing the cover:
Some people find it easier to remove the drive cage others prefer
to remove both side covers . To determine for yourself, go to Dell's support page:
http://support.dell.com/support/
Enter your Service Tag or Model. Under Fix-It, select Your System Documentation, then Tech
Notes and finally,
Removing and Replacing Parts. Here you will find some helpful information
dealing with this and other subjects.
Sec 3: Installation per PC World: (
article from PC World )
Whether you're installing an Internal IDE drive or a parallel port drive, back up your
hard before you begin. Some Internal IDE CD-RW drives include software that analyzes your
PC`s IDE setup and suggests how to install your drive, use it and print the results.
Plan for connecting and mounting your Internal IDE drive:
Turn off your PC, unplug it and remove the cover.( see below, Removing Cover ) Use an anti-static wrist strap to work inside
your PC. You will find two IDE connectors, Primary
and Secondary channels on your motherboard.
In most PCs, the IDE hard disk connects to the primary channel and the IDE CD-ROM drive
connects to the secondary channel, both via data cables. If this is the way your PC is
setup, then you will need only to connect your new CD-RW drive to the same cable as used
by your CD-ROM. If that cable has no extra connector on it, use the cable that came with
the CD-RW drive to connect both drives to the secondary channel. Some PCs have both the
hard drive and the CD-ROM drive connected to the Primary IDE channel. If that's the case
in your PC, and you have no other devices on the secondary channel ( like an internal IDE
Zip drive ), plan to disconnect the CD-ROM drive from the primary IDE channel and
reconnect it to the secondary channel with your new CD-RW drive.
Select the externally accessible drive bay where you will mount your CD-RW drive. Most
PCs have their CD-ROM drive mounted in the top externally accessible bay. In most cases,
the new CD-RW will mount in the bay just below your CD-ROM depending on where your CD-RW
drive must go, check that your data cables and power cables are long enough.
Set Jumpers, connect Cables and mount an Internal CD-RW
drive:
Check your CD-RW drive and make sure its jumper is set to Master. If you plan on
continuing to use your CD-ROM drive, set its jumper to Slave.
You may have to remove and then replace the CD-ROM drive to do so. Slide your new CD-RW
drive into its bay and screw in its mounting screws. Then connect its data. Make sure the
cable's colored ( usually red; Pin 1 ) wire goes to the pin nearest the power connector (
some data cable connectors have a piece of protruding plastic to prevent connecting in the
wrong direction ). Then connect the power cable to the CD-RW drive. Lastly, if your CD-RW
drive came with an audio cable and your sound adapter has a free connector ( on the sound
card or on the motherboard if your adapter is integrated ) for its end of the cable,
attach one end of the audio cable to the connector and the other to the CD-RW drive. If
the sound adapter has no free connector, then choose which device you want to use as audio
player and attach the cable.
Install software and start burning discs:
Turn on your PC and install the drivers and application that came with your new drive.
Then test the drive to make sure that it can read standard CD-ROMs and audio CDs and can
read and write to both CD-R and CD-RW discs. For CD-RW discs ( you
must format them first ) copy some dummy files to them and try deleting the files.
If you connected the CD-RW audio cable, try an audio CD to test your sound. If your PC
does not recognize the drive, turn off the PC and double check all your connections. You
can also select Start | Settings | Control Panel, double click System
icon and click Device Manager tab. If the icon for your new
drive is shown with an exclamation point next to it, there might be an internal conflict
preventing the drive from working properly. Select Start | Help,
type hardware troubleshooter in the search box, and follow the directions. If you
still have trouble, contact tech support.
