Internal IDE: SurfSTOR DVD-RW subsystems ship in both IDE and SCSI flavors. If you are installing an internal IDE DVD-RW, please select the appropriate Master, Slave, or Cable Select jumper setting from the rear of the unit before installing and be sure to verify that it does not conflict with another device on the channel. It may also be noted that some systems do not support Cable Select and you may have to choose Master or Slave. -

Figure 4: SCSI Connectors STEP 5: Power Connection & Consumption Plug the power cord into the SurfSTOR subsystem and into an appropriate power outlet. All SurfSTOR subsystems have an auto-ranging circuit to support single phase 100-260VAC 47Hz-63Hz automatically.* *If power in your area has voltage spikes (power goes high) or brownouts (power goes low), it is recommended that you use a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) or a surge protector to minimize the risk of damaging the subsystem and losing data. -
