    DVD or CD-ROM drive, or your PX-716AL drive. If there are two devices, one is configured as Master and the other the Slave, as indicated by the position of jumpers on the back of the drive.

  • Page 22: Inspect Your Computer's Cables

    NOTE: Although the newer IDE/ATA cable has 80 conductors (wires), its connectors have only 40 pins, so it’s physically interchangeable with the older cable. And in fact, your PX-716AL drive may work fine with a 40- conductor cable. But to ensure writing at maximum speed, it’s best to use the newer 80-conductor cable.

  • Page 23: Do You Have Cable Select

    • The blue connector attaches to the computer motherboard or controller. • The gray connector is in the middle of the cable, and goes to any slave (device 1) drive, if present. Section 2. Installing the PX-716AL Internal ATAPI Drive PX-716AL Installation and Users Manual...

    Section 2. Installing the PX-716AL Internal ATAPI Drive Changing the Mode Jumper on Your PX-716AL Drive The drive arrives from the factory with its mode jumper set to Master. (A function is ON if the jumper is installed and OFF if the jumper is removed.)
  • Page 26 Section 2. Installing the PX-716AL Internal ATAPI Drive Changing to a Master, Slave, or Cable Select The Master/Slave/Cable Select setting for the drive is determined by the mode jumper. The jumper is placed over one of the sets of mode pins.

  • Page 27: Select An Ide Configuration

    Keep these rules in mind: • For best DVD±RW and CD-RW performance, try to connect the PX-716AL to the IDE port that is not connected to the hard disk drive or to a DVD or CD-ROM drive. In most cases, this will be the secondary IDE port.
  • Page 28 Depending on how fast the DVD or CD-ROM drive can stream data to the PX-716AL, it may not be fast enough to keep the buffer full. In this case, the buffer may become empty and a buffer underrun error may occur.

    Section 2. Installing the PX-716AL Internal ATAPI Drive About Cable Select The Cable Select jumper position sets the PX-716AL drive to use the CSEL signal from the IDE interface for configuration purposes. This signal automatically selects the correct Master/Slave setting for the drive.

  • Page 33: Set The Px-716Al Dma Jumper

    With some personal computers (usually older ones) that do not have an Ultra DMA IDE chipset, the computer may “hang” or crash with the PX-716AL set to the default Ultra DMA setting. If this happens, change the PX-716AL to multiword DMA mode by installing the spare jumper across the two DMA jumper pins just to the left of the mode jumper pins.

  • Page 34: Mount The Px-716Al Drive

    There are also two optional cable connections: • An analog audio cable connection if you are using a sound board in your computer and plan to connect the PX-716AL’s audio output to the audio connector on the sound board. • A digital audio cable connection if the sound board is equipped with SPDIF or Digital-In and you wish to use the digital audio output from your PX-716AL.

    Using the PX-716AL Self-Test Diagnostics The PX-716AL drive contains a set of self-test diagnostics that can help isolate trouble and determine if a problem is in the drive or elsewhere. NOTE: Using the self-test diagnostics requires opening the computer and removing a cable from the drive, then replacing the cable at the end of the test.
  • Page 54 PX-716AL drive. Carefully remove the ATAPI cable from the drive by pulling the cable gently rearward. 4. Note the position of the mode jumper at the rear of the PX-716AL. A jumper will be installed on either the CABLE SELECT, SLAVE, or MASTER position.
  • Page 55 Be aware of the danger of electric shock and do not touch any components inside the computer. 8. While pressing the eject button on the PX-716AL, turn the computer power on. Continue to press the eject button. The disc/busy indicator blinks green, then amber, and the disc ejects.
  • Page 56 11. If the disc was not ejected automatically, press the eject button to eject the disc. 12. Turn off the computer power. 13. Reset the mode jumper at the rear of the PX-716AL to its original setting as noted in Step 4 above. Also, remove the extra jumper you installed.

  • Page 57: Frequently Asked Questions

    5. Frequently Asked Questions Q: Why do I need an 80-conductor IDE cable for the PX-716AL? Your PX-716AL will operate with either the older 40-conductor cable or the newer 80-conductor IDE/ATA cable. However, the 80-conductor cable improves performance, and the PX-716AL may not be able to write at maximum speed (16X) without it.

(See page 58 for a list of recommended media for the PX-716AL at the time this manual was printed, and see the Plextor web site at www.plextor.com for an updated list.) From time to time, the media catalog is updated with new manufacturers and part numbers as Plextor tests additional media.
  • Page 59 Q: Q: What effect does installing the DMA jumper have on operation? A: The Ultra DMA setting (no jumper) should work in most cases. If your computer hangs or crashes during data transfers from the PX-716AL drive, add the DMA jumper to switch to multiword DMA mode.
