Page 7: Introduction
Thank you for purchasing either Plextor’s UltraPleX 40max or our UltraPleX Wide. Both are 17/40 speed CAV CD-ROM drives meant for the professional and power The UltraPleX family of drives are the most reliable and highest performing user. CD-ROM drives available. The UltraPlex 40max represents the pinnacle of achievement for standard 50-pin, 8-bit SCSI interface CD-ROM drives. - Page 8 CHAPTER 1 — Introduction For those of you with PCs, the installation process may seem a bit complicated. However, Windows 95/98 has improved things. Apple people have it easy. But no one should worry. Our manuals have successfully walked millions of customers through the installation process, including those who previously had lived in mortal terror of the innards of their computers.

Page 12: A Gentle Reminder
Therefore, please ship your drive in the safest manner possible. We believe your drive will be most secure if it is shipped in a Plextor box. We hope you will never have to ship your drive back to us. If you do, we hope you will send it packaged in a Plextor box. -
Page 13: What Else Do I Need
YOUR OBJECTIVE: YOUR METHOD: If you are a PC owner and you purchased a Plextor box labeled “Drive with SCSI Interface Kit,” your needs are simple: none. Everything you need to successfully install and operate your UltraPleX CD-ROM drive is included in the box you purchased. - Page 14 NOTE: The UltraPleX Wide external drive uses high-density 68-pin connectors — so called “wide” connectors. If you have an external Plextor CD-ROM drive, you will be able to include it in your daisy chain of other external SCSI peripherals with a SCSI cable.

Please read this manual carefully and keep it handy for easy reference. Use this manual for installation, operation, and troubleshooting. See your dealer or call Plextor’s Technical Support Department should your drive require repair or service. Do not put your computer monitor (or any other device weighing more than 30 lbs.) on top of the UltraPleX external drive. -

Page 21: Drive Switch/Jumper/Dial Settings
Your UltraPleX CD-ROM drive needs to be flexible enough to work with a variety of computer systems (PC, Apple, Sun, Silicon Graphics, Linux, etc.) that can use SCSI peripherals. To provide this flexibility, Plextor gives its customers options for drive setting prior to installation. On an internal drive, settings are determined by the position of jumpers on the jumper block at the rear of the drive. -

Page 23: Scsi Id Number
SCSI peripherals, however, it is necessary to set each peripheral to a unique SCSI ID number. If you bought a Plextor kit with a SCSI interface board, both the drive and the board are SCAM compliant. This means each time you turn on your computer, the drive will internally reset its SCSI ID to avoid any conflict. - Page 24 CHAPTER 6 — Drive Switch/Jumper/Dial Settings Changing the SCSI ID: The SCSI ID number of the PX-40TSi is determined by the placement of jumpers on Pins 1, 2, and 3. To find the location of Pin 1, Pin 2, and Pin 3, refer to the jumper diagram on page 16.

Page 27: Termination
This should not be confused with termination itself. Termination power can and should be provided by at least one device attached to your SCSI host adapter. Your Plextor drive automatically supplies termination power. Any additional devices supplying termination power will not cause any problems. -
Page 28: Internal Termination
CHAPTER 7 — Termination your UltraPleX, you must disable or turn OFF the UltraPleX’s termination using the following instructions: The UltraPleX internal drive is shipped from the factory with its termination enabled (ON). To disable termination, remove the jumper from the termination pins on the back panel of your drive. -
Page 29: Hardware Installation
You must use a hardware link that enables your drive to “talk” with the rest of your computer. Plextor's UltraPleX drives use a SCSI interface as their link. If you own a PC, there are four ways in which you can make the SCSI connection: 1) Use a separate SCSI interface board. - Page 30 CHAPTER 8 — Hardware Installation 4) If you have an external drive and a portable computer with a PCMCIA slot (Type II or III), use a PCMCIA-to-SCSI card. This is a small, credit-card size device that plugs into the PCMCIA slot. It too is convenient, but many of these provide less performance than a direct connection to a 32-bit SCSI interface board.
-
Page 31: Board Installation
YOUR TASK: YOUR OBJECTIVE: YOUR METHOD: Let us point out that this is a CD-ROM drive installation and operation manual — it is not a SCSI interface board operation manual. Unless you purchased a SCSI interface board (and its accompanying manual) bundled in the same box with an UltraPleX drive, we have no way of knowing which type of board you elect to use. - Page 32 Plextor provides only 32-bit PCI SCSI interface boards with its UltraPleX SCSI card bundles. Be sure to use the correct slot (16-bit slots are longer than 32-bit slots).

Page 35: Mounting An Internal Drive
The drive can be mounted directly into your computer. CAUTION: Do not mount your drive in your computer using screws other than those supplied by Plextor. You may damage the drive if you insert screws that are too long. - Page 36 You will find that four screws were supplied with your drive. Use only these screws to attach the mounting rails. Using screws other than those supplied by Plextor could damage the drive or strip the threads. Check the positioning of the rails by sliding the drive into the bay before you connect any cables.
- Page 37 Cable Connections You must make a minimum of two cable connections to your CD-ROM drive. A third cable connection need be made only if you are using a soundboard in your computer. The two cable connections that you must make are: 1) SCSI cable 2) power cable Audio Connector...
- Page 38 CHAPTER 8 — Hardware Installation Double-check your work; you must ensure the side of the SCSI cable with the red stripe is matched to Pin 1 on the interface board and on the drive. The easiest way to install your SCSI cable is to plug it into the SCSI connector on the rear panel of the drive before you insert the drive into your computer.

Assume cabling in external case equals about 20 cm when adding up total cable length.

Windows 95/98 will recognize the new controller and ask you to insert the Windows 95/98 CD-ROM so it can obtain the necessary file. If you purchased your SCSI controller in a Plextor kit, you can use either the Windows 95/98 CD or the Plextor Manager floppy disk to provide the necessary file. - Page 76 Plextor drive is fully SCAM capable. Benevolent folks that we are, if you bought a Plextor “kit” you also have a SCAM capable SCSI controller in front of you — wouldn’t make much sense to sell you a true Plug and Play drive and some old technology controller board, would it? You can also buy SCAM capable controller kits off the shelf at most computer stores now.
