Chapter 2. Connecting the FireWire CD-RW Drive
This chapter explains how to connect the TEAC FireWire CD-RW drive to an
IBM PC compatible or Apple Macintosh computer. It also explains how to install
the appropriate software driver.
Drive Orientation
Locate the FireWire CD-RW drive on a stable, flat surface. You can use the drive
in a horizontal or vertical orientation. In a horizontal orientation, the eject button
should be located on the right side of the unit.
To position the drive in a vertical orientation, set the drive on the side that features
four small rubber pads (the right side of the unit as you look at the front panel).
The eject button should be located near the bottom of the unit.

Follow the steps below and refer to your computer's documentation for
information specific to your system.
1. For the initial installation, turn off your computer and all connected
peripheral devices.
2. Depending on your operating system:
Macintosh users: The IEEE 1394 port is integrated into your system. Skip to

Windows users: Install your FireWire/IEEE 1394 interface card (card not
included with kit). Follow the instructions provided by the interface card
manufacturer, then return to this procedure.
3. Assemble the two-piece power cable/adapter by connecting the power
