  • Page 19 If something is missing, contact the party from whom you purchased the box for an explanation. NOTE: This applies to the Plextor retail box. Your drive may have been shipped in a different box with other contents, depending on whom you purchased the drive from and what they included inside the box.

  • Page 20: Px-800A Quickstart Installation

    Typical Scenario 1: You have a PC with an IDE interface installed and you have nothing installed on the secondary IDE port. What to do: Leave the PX-800A’s jumper set to Master, attach it to the secondary IDE port, and go. Windows will recognize the drive automatically.

  • Page 21: Open The Computer And Prepare For Installation

    The following pages give more details for this procedure. Open the Computer and Prepare for Installation To determine whether your PX-800A will be a Master or a Slave, open your computer and examine the IDE connections to the motherboard. To open the computer: 1.

  • Page 22: Determine Your Existing Ide Configuration

    DVD or CD-ROM drive, or your PX-800A 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 23: 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-800A 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 24: Confirm That You Have An 80-Conductor Ide Cable

    Section 2. Installing the PX-800A Internal ATAPI Drive Confirm That You Have an 80-Conductor IDE Cable How can you tell? The 80-conductor cable is slightly wider than the older 40-conductor version. The wires in the 80-conductor version are narrower, too.

  • Page 28 Section 2. Installing the PX-800A Internal ATAPI Drive For example, to change the drive to be a Slave, move the jumper to the middle set of mode pins, leaving the other pins uncovered. To change the drive for Cable Select, move the jumper to the left set of mode pins.

  • Page 29: Select An Ide Configuration

    Keep these rules in mind: • For best DVD±RW and CD-RW performance, try to connect the PX-800A 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 60: Frequently Asked Questions

    5. Frequently Asked Questions Q: Why do I need an 80-conductor IDE cable for the PX-800A? Your PX-800A 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-800A may not be able to write at maximum speed (18X) without it.
  • Page 61 DVD+RW Alliance) stands for DVD+R Double Layer. DVD-R DL (from the DVD Forum) stands for DVD-R Dual Layer. Whether your DL media is labeled "double layer" or "dual layer," the PX-800A can handle it. Q: What is “recommended media”?
  • Page 62 For example, 8X-rated media listed as “12X writing recommended” and “16X compatible” indicates the manufacturer believes this 8X-rated media can be written at 16X. Plextor factory testing has determined you will achieve the highest quality write at 12X. Plextor’s testing also indicates you can write this media at 16X and still achieve good quality, although perhaps not as high as at the recommended speed.
