Section 2. Installing Your PlexWriter

About Cable Select

The Cable Select jumper position sets the PlexWriter drive to use the CSEL signal
from the IDE interface for configuration. This signal automatically selects the correct
Master/Slave setting for the PlexWriter. To use CSEL, you must have:
• A computer that supports CSEL.
• A special CSEL IDE cable.

NOTE: The IDE cable supplied by Plextor doesn't support CSEL.

Install the PlexWriter Drive

Before proceeding to install the PlexWriter drive in your personal computer, double-
check your jumper setting.

Record the Serial Number

Record the serial number and TLA code of your drive on the inside front cover of
this manual. If your drive came preinstalled, you can get the serial number
information using Plextor Manager 2000. See the Plextor Manager 2000 User's
Manual for instructions.

Mount the PlexWriter Drive in the Computer

You can mount your internal PlexWriter drive in any available bay. You must
remove the small panel that covers the bay that you want to use.
CAUTION: Install your PlexWriter horizontally. Plextor does not guarantee the drive's
performance in a vertical position.
If you don't have an empty bay, remove the existing IDE CD-ROM drive and install
the PlexWriter.
