This manual covers both the internal CD-ROM (XM-6401B) and the external CD-ROM (TXM6401F1). Instructions in this manual apply to both models, unless otherwise stated. The XM-6401B is one of the fastest CD-ROM drives currently avail- able. Features include: ➬ 40X speed Brings leading edge performance.
SCSI DRIVES he XM-6401B is a SCSI-2 (Small Computer Systems Inter- face) device. Some other SCSI devices you may already have connected to your computer are scanners, tape drives, or an- other CD-ROM drive. PC SYSTEMS: To add a SCSI device to your computer, you must have a SCSI interface card already in place.
External Terminator (TXM6401F1 installations only) ❑ Power Cord (TXM6401F1 installations only) INSTALLING AN INTERNAL CD-ROM (XM-6401B) The instructions that follow are for use on PC systems only. In order to install your internal CD-ROM successfully, you will need to com- plete the following steps: ☛...
OFF. This section will discuss the following jumper settings: SCSI ID, Parity, Eject, Test/ Audio Reproduction, Termination, and Power Supply. SCSI-ID 0 Spare no jumpers Jumper on ID1, 2 or 4 Plug TOSHIBA XM-6401B/TXM6401F1 CD-ROM Drive...

The Parity Jumper should be set to OFF (no jumper present). This jumper activates/de-activates the parity bit check function on the SCSI data bus. This enhances data bus reliability. (Cannot be used if no parity generation function is provided on the I/F card.) TOSHIBA XM-6401B/TXM6401F1 CD-ROM Drive...

This jumper turns termination power ON or OFF. If you are “daisy- chaining” a series of SCSI devices (connecting more than one SCSI device to your system), and the XM-6401B CD-ROM is not at the end of the chain, you must remove the jumper.
(make sure to allow yourself enough workspace for the CD- ROM installation). The XM-6401B CD-ROM drive can be placed in any free half-height drive slot at the front of your computer. (It can be mounted horizon- tally or vertically.) You most likely will have to remove the cover plate which conceals the front of the open slot (see your computer book on how to remove panel).
Push plug completely into the socket making sure the plug fits into the socket correctly. CAUTION! Severe damage to the CD-ROM circuits may occur if power cable is plugged in upside-down with power ON. Installing Power Cable TOSHIBA XM-6401B/TXM6401F1 CD-ROM Drive...

Terminator on last drive on BUS (see note 1) (see notes 1 & 3) TXM6401F1/XM-6401B DAISY-CHAIN CONNECTION (MULTIPLE DRIVES) Notes: 1. Terminator jumper must be jumpered when CD-ROM is the last or only device on the SCSI BUS. 2. Terminator jumper should be removed when CD is in a "daisy-chain" and is NOT the last drive.
After you have connected all the necessary cables, you can push the CD-ROM completely into the slot. There are 12 screw holes on the XM-6401B that are used to mount the CD-ROM into your computer. The screw length should not exceed 3±0.5mm (measured from out- side surface of side or bottom of CD-ROM to tip of screw).
Note that your SCSI interface card, in most cases, has a SCSI ID of 7. The SCSI ID Switch is located on the rear of the CD-ROM Enclo- sure. Click button to select a SCSI ID between 0 and 7. TOSHIBA XM-6401B/TXM6401F1 CD-ROM Drive...
If the CD-ROM is being installed as the last drive in a daisy-chain or as the only SCSI device, you must install an external terminator on one of the SCSI connectors at the rear of the CD-ROM. External Terminator TOSHIBA XM-6401B/TXM6401F1 CD-ROM Drive...
SCSI Cabling and Power Connector Audio (optional) - Audio jacks are located at the rear of the CD- ROM drive. These audio jacks can be used to connect your CD- ROM to an external amplified audio device. TOSHIBA XM-6401B/TXM6401F1 CD-ROM Drive...
CD-ROM software driver. PCs - If you do not have this software, contact the manufacturer of your SCSI host adapter card. Use the instructions that came with your software to install the CD-ROM software driver. TOSHIBA XM-6401B/TXM6401F1 CD-ROM Drive...
