Installing the drive
Follow these steps to install the CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination Drive:
Step 1. Opening the computer
1. Turn off the computer and all attached devices.
2. Unplug all power cords from the computer and all attached devices.
3. Remove the cover from the computer. Refer to your computer
documentation for instructions on removing the computer cover.
Step 2. Unpacking the drive
1. Before opening the antistatic bag that the drive is packed in, touch the bag
to an unpainted metal surface for at least two seconds. This drains the
static electricity from the package and your body.
2. Remove the drive from the bag.
If you must put the drive down, place the antistatic bag on a flat, padded
surface, such as a magazine, and place the drive on the antistatic bag.
1-4 IBM 48X/24X/48X/16X Max CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination Drive: User’s Guide
Step 3. Setting the configuration jumpers
You can configure your drive as master ꢀ1ꢁ, slave ꢀ2ꢁ, or cable-select ꢀ3ꢁ, by
placing the jumper over the configuration pins as shown.
Use the following guidelines to determine the correct configuration for your
CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination Drive.
v Configure the CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination Drive as a master if it will
be the only device that is connected to the IDE cable. This is the preset
configuration.
v Configure the CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination Drive as a slave if it will be
the second device on an IDE cable. Be sure to configure the other device as a
master. In some cases, a hard disk drive might require a “master with slave
present” jumper setting when another device on the same cable is
configured as a slave. For more information on setting configuration jumpers
on other devices, refer to the documentation that comes with your computer.
v Some non-IBM computers use special ATA cables with two wires reversed in
the device connectors so that the drives can be configured by the cable
instead of by jumper position. Use the cable-select position only for
computers that are equipped with these special cables. See the
documentation that comes with your computer to determine if your ATA
adapter requires that you place the jumpers in the cable-select position.
If you place the jumper in the cable-select position, the IDE cable
automatically assigns the master and slave settings based on the position of
the drive on the cable. You must use the cable-select setting for this cabling
system whether the CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination Drive is the only
device or the second device connected to the cable. The drive closest to the
IDE controller is automatically the master drive. Any other devices on the
IDE cable must also be set to cable-select.
Installation and user’s guide 1-5
Step 4. Selecting an IDE connector
Newer computers typically have two IDE connectors. If your computer has
two IDE connectors, use the secondary IDE connector to connect the
CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination Drive. Typically the secondary IDE connector
is adjacent to the primary IDE connector that connects to your hard disk drive.
The IDE connector you select and the cable position you select will determine
which configuration jumper setting you will use for the drive.
v If you have two IDE connectors, connect the CD-RW/DVD-ROM
Combination Drive to the secondary IDE connector with the IDE cable that
comes with your drive. If the CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination Drive is the
only device on the secondary IDE connector, you will use the master
configuration setting. If there is another device on the secondary connector
in addition to the CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination Drive, you will use the
slave configuration setting.
v If you must attach the CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination Drive to the same
IDE connector as a faster device, such as a hard disk drive, use the slave
setting for the CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination 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, refer to 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 system supports this setting.
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/DVD-ROM Combination Drive horizontally or
vertically in the computer. If you mount the drive vertically, you must secure
any discs that you place into the drive before the drive tray is closed, or the
CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination Drive will not be able to read the disc
properly.
1. Slide the drive into the bay. Your computer might have specific required
procedures for installing storage devices. For more information on storage
devices, refer to the documentation that comes with your computer.
2. Align the drive-bay screw holes with the threaded holes in the drive
housing or mounting bracket.
1-6 IBM 48X/24X/48X/16X Max CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination Drive: User’s Guide
3. Thread the screws in loosely to check their position. Two screws are usually
used on each side. Verify that the alignment is correct; then tighten the
screws to secure the drive. Do not over tighten.
Step 6. Attaching the cables to the drive
The following diagram shows where to connect the cables to the drive.
The following is an illustration of the internal audio cable that comes with
your option package.
1. The internal audio cable has a split-connector end and a single-connector
end. Connect one of the split-connector ends ꢀ1ꢁto the audio-out connector
on the CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination Drive. If you have another
CD-ROM, CD-RW or DVD-ROM drive, attach the other split-connector end
to the audio-out connector on this drive. Attach the single-connector end to
your sound adapter.
2. Attach a 40-pin IDE-cable connector ꢀ2ꢁto 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 that is provided with this option if there
is no cable attached to the IDE connector. The IDE cable can have up to
three connectors. For the best signal quality when you are connecting only
one device to the IDE cable, connect one end of the cable to the IDE
connector, and connect the other end of the cable to the device. Do not use
the middle connector. Use the IDE cable that is provided with this option if
there is no cable attached to the computer IDE connector, or if there is only
one device connector on the computer IDE cable.
If you are connecting two devices to the IDE cable, connect one end of the
cable to the IDE connector, and connect the master and subordinate devices
to the remaining connectors on the other end. Many computers have two
cables for attaching up to four ATA devices. For best performance, attach
fast devices (such as hard disk drives) to the cable that is connected to the
primary IDE connector, and connect the CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination
Installation and user’s guide 1-7
Drive or other slower devices (such as CD-ROM drives, tape drives, and
removable media) to the cable that is connected to the secondary IDE
connector.
3. Attach a four-pin power cable ꢀ3ꢁto the power connector on the
CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination Drive.
Be sure that the cables will not be pinched or crowded by the computer
cover and that all other cable and power connections are secure.
Step 7. Completing the hardware installation
1. Be sure that the CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination Drive is securely
mounted and that the connectors are firmly attached.
2. Be sure that the cables do not interfere with the computer cover and that
they do not block the power-supply fan blades or airflow paths.
3. Reinstall the computer cover.
4. Reconnect all external devices.
5. Plug all power cords into the 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.
To see the configuration information for most IBM computers, press F1 during
startup when the IBM graphic is displayed in the upper-right corner of the
screen. When you have finished reviewing the information, save the changes
and exit.
Step 9. Installing the CD-RW and DVD software
There are three software applications that you must install in order to use the
CD-RW and DVD Video functions of your drive. All of these are included on
the IBM CD-RW/ DVD-ROM Software and User’s Guide CD.
The IBM CD-RW/DVD-ROM Software and User’s Guide CD contains the
following software applications:
v Intervideo WinDVD, to support DVD video playback
v IBM RecordNow, to support traditional CD authoring
v IBM Drive Letter Access (DLA), to support drag-and-drop CD recording
v UDF Reader Software for reading DLA discs in other computers
1-8 IBM 48X/24X/48X/16X Max CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination Drive: User’s Guide
Windows XP has built-in drag-and-drop support. This will work with your

Using CD-R and CD-RW discs
The CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination Drive can write to both CD-R and
CD-RW discs. CD-RW discs can be erased and reused many times; CD-R discs
can be written to only once.
RecordNow is used to copy CDs, create new data CDs, and produce new
audio CDs that can be read by standard CD-RW drives and CD players.
RecordNow can also be used to create CD images in ISO9660 format and burn
previously saved images to CD
Installation and user’s guide 1-9
DLA is used to make file archives and data CDs that can be altered many
times. It also provides the convenience of direct drive-letter access. When used
with CD-RW media, DLA is very much like using a floppy diskette to store
files. If DLA is used with CD-R media, you can write and rewrite until the CD
is full, and then the data becomes fixed. DLA-created media can be read only
with newer CD-ROM drives and DVD-ROM drives that support multi-read
mode.
A UDF reader might be required when using other computers to read unclosed
DLA media. Install the provided UDF reader on other systems that need to
read the disc, not on yours.
CD-R discs are playable on audio CD players. CD-RW discs are not playable
on most audio CD players.
CD-RW media comes in three different types: normal, High Speed, and Ultra
Speed. Normal media is usually designated 2X or 2X-4X. High Speed Media is
often listed as 4X-10X or 4X-12X and bears the High Speed logo. Ultra Speed
Media is usually listed as 16X-24X and bears the Ultra Speed logo. Your
CD-RW can write to all three types of CD-RW media. If you use High Speed or
Ultra Speed CD-RW media, computers with lower speed CD-RW drives cannot
add data to this media. The following table shows the compatibility of
different media in different drives, along with the logos that are on the drives
and the media.

DVD region codes
Region codes help protect the contents of a DVD from unauthorized
duplication. The world is divided into six regions, and the MPEG-2 decoding
software contains a region-code setting that corresponds to the region in which
the drive will be used. Typically, each DVD is manufactured with a
region-code setting so that it can be viewed only on a DVD drive that has that
same region-code setting. The region-code setting of the DVD is indicated by a
region-code symbol on the back of the packaging. The following table lists the
six region codes and their corresponding region-code symbol.

Appendix C. Customizing the device-driver
configuration settings
Windows Me has two device-driver configuration parameters: Auto Insert
Notify and DMA.
The Auto Insert Notify parameter enables the computer to start playing or
accessing the disc automatically after being inserted in the drive.
The DMA parameter improves computer performance by having the computer
DMA controller handle data transfers from the CD to memory, freeing the
computer microprocessor to perform more important tasks. For example,
activating DMA might make movies and games run more smoothly because
the microprocessor will be allocating more processing time to video.

IBM Statement of Limited Warranty Z125-4753-06 8/2000
Part 1 - General Terms
This Statement of Limited Warranty includes Part 1 - General Terms and Part 2
- Country-unique Terms. 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, from IBM or
your reseller. 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. Unless IBM
specifies otherwise, the following warranties apply only in the country where
you acquire the Machine. Nothing in this Statement of Limited Warranty
affects any statutory rights of consumers that cannot be waived or limited by
contract. If you have any questions, contact IBM or your reseller.
The IBM Warranty for Machines: IBM warrants that each Machine 1) is free
from defects in materials and workmanship and 2) conforms to IBM’s Official
Published Specifications (“Specifications”). The warranty period for a Machine
is a specified, fixed period commencing on its Date of Installation. The date on
your sales receipt is the Date of Installation unless IBM or your reseller informs
you otherwise.
If a Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period, and
IBM or your reseller are unable to either 1) make it do so or 2) replace it with
one that is at least functionally equivalent, you may return it to your place of
purchase and your money will be refunded.
Extent of Warranty: The warranty does not cover the repair or exchange of a
Machine resulting from misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical or
operating environment, improper maintenance by you, or failure caused by a
product for which IBM is not responsible. The warranty is voided by removal
or alteration of Machine or parts identification labels.
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. THESE WARRANTIES GIVE YOU
SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS
WHICH VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION. SOME
JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION
OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION
OR LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT EVENT, SUCH
WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY
PERIOD. NO WARRANTIES APPLY AFTER THAT PERIOD.
Appendix D. Warranty information D-3
Items Not Covered by Warranty: 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, will be
provided WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.
Warranty Service: To obtain warranty service for a Machine, contact IBM or
your reseller. If you do not register your Machine with IBM, you may be
required to present proof of purchase.
During the warranty period, IBM or your reseller, if approved by IBM to
provide warranty service, provides without charge certain types of repair and
exchange service to keep Machines in, or restore them to, conformance with
their Specifications. IBM or your reseller will inform you of the available types
of service for a Machine based on its country of installation. At its discretion,
IBM or your reseller will 1) either repair or exchange the failing Machine and
2) provide the service either at your location or a service center. IBM or your
reseller will also manage and install selected engineering changes that apply to
the Machine.
Some parts of IBM Machines are designated as Customer Replaceable Units
(called “CRUs”), e.g., keyboards, memory, or hard disk drives. IBM ships CRUs
to you for replacement by you. You must return all defective CRUs to IBM
within 30 days of your receipt of the replacement CRU. You are responsible for
downloading designated Machine Code and Licensed Internal Code updates
from an IBM Internet Web site or from other electronic media, and following
the instructions that IBM provides.
When 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 functionally equivalent to the item replaced. The replacement
assumes the warranty service status of the replaced item. 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.
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;
D-4 IBM 48X/24X/48X/16X Max CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination Drive: User’s Guide
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:
a. follow the problem determination, problem analysis, and service request
procedures that IBM or your reseller provides;
b. secure all programs, data, and funds contained in a Machine;
c. provide IBM or your reseller with sufficient, free, and safe access to
your facilities to permit them to fulfill their obligations; and
d. inform IBM or your reseller of changes in a Machine’s location.
IBM is responsible for loss of, or damage to, your Machine 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 is responsible for any of your confidential,
proprietary or personal information contained in a Machine which you return
to IBM or your reseller for any reason. You should remove all such information
from the Machine prior to its return.
Limitation of Liability: 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 tangible personal property; and
2. the amount of any other actual direct damages, up to the charges (if
recurring, 12 months’ charges apply) for the Machine that is subject of the
claim. For purposes of this item, the term “Machine” includes Machine
Code and Licensed Internal Code.
This limit also applies to IBM’s suppliers and your reseller. It is the
maximum for which IBM, its suppliers, and your reseller are collectively
responsible.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS IBM LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE
FOLLOWING: 1) THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR DAMAGES
(OTHER THAN THOSE UNDER THE FIRST ITEM LISTED ABOVE); 2)
LOSS OF, OR DAMAGE TO, YOUR RECORDS OR DATA; OR 3) SPECIAL,
INCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OR FOR ANY ECONOMIC
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS OR LOST SAVINGS,
EVEN IF IBM, ITS SUPPLIERS OR YOUR RESELLER IS INFORMED OF
THEIR POSSIBILITY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE
EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT
APPLY TO YOU.
